Psyop's 'Dishononored' Takes Gaming Gold

Psyop and ROKKAN’s project for Bethesda Softworks and Arkane Studios, “Dishonored: The Tales from Dunwall,” took gold at the 2013 Game Marketing Awards in the Best Long Format Featuring Promotional Content category!

 

 

The multi-platform title gives gamers a first-hand glimpse into the steampunk- inspired, shadowy whaling city of Dunwall, where plague is rampant and the city is in disarray and on the verge of dystopia.

 

 

The three webisodes were predominantly produced by hand, each frame essentially a fully rendered style frame enhanced with 3D elements to add to the painterly atmosphere, dimension and depth of each shot.

 

The prequel videos, although stylistically different from Dishonored the game, accurately portray the story of Dunwall and showcase the fantasy worlds that Psyop is known for creating.
