Cinematic Trailer

When a lonely, outcast Illager stumbles upon a mysterious object with terrifying powers, his entire existence is turned upside down. Before long, he finds himself on a path of evil, causing mayhem across the Overworld. Who can stop him?

We had the pleasure of working together with Mojang in creating this intro cinematic for their new game called “Minecraft Dungeons”. It was released in the summer of 2020.
