Cut down from a total of 27 minutes of cinematics animation completed for Blizzard’s action RPG Diablo® II Resurrected, this two-and-a-half-minute sequence offers ample evidence of why Axis remains in the elite tier of CG studios.

From the team at Axis Studios HQ in Glasgow: “Diablo® II Resurrected is a shot for shot remake created for the timeless classic, now remastered and upgraded.

“The team led by director Jon Yeo completed seven cinematic sequences and recreated every asset and shot for a modern audience, with a wealth of detail in every scene, in every monster, and in every character.

“All the key performances were captured over a four-day MOCAP shoot to lip-synced dialogue to add visual fidelity to the performances.”
