The open-world adventure RPG Genshin Impact rolled out its Natlan map expansion with these 80 seconds of hyperactivity – a neck-snapping, shark-surfing showcase for the design and animation powers of the team at BUCK.

From BUCK: “The client wanted to do something different this time around and push a more interpreted style, so we got in on the action with a teaser trailer that not only captures the excitement of the game, but mixes in a fresh, unabashedly art-forward look designed to shake things up and draw in a bigger crowd.”
