Total War: Pharaoh

We were delighted to create the cinematic announcement trailer for Creative Assembly’s upcoming game Total War: Pharaoh, and maybe especially so since the hero of the trailer is a very unlikely one: a tiny scarab beetle battling its’ way from the banks of the Nile to the vast desert battlefields outside Giza.
The trailer was released May 23rd 2023

We don’t make dreams come true.

We make them real. And if you like what you’ve seen us do for others, imagine what we could do for you. Because what we’ve done is only the starting point. We are constantly reinventing our expertise and using it in previously unknown ways, blurring the edges between what’s real and what’s possible. All you have to do is watch, because we’re not just aiming for the rainbow – we want to go beyond. Contact us
