VERSION CASE STUDY

Patch 4A - Bright Heights

The “Bright Heights” version explores themes of hope and renewal through radiant light and kaleidoscopic structures.

The motion language is built around expanding symmetry, layered color refraction, and rhythmic light bursts, transforming the static visual into a dynamic and immersive system.

VERSION CASE STUDY

Patch 7.1 - Flat Out

Everyone carries a race deep within. On a straight stretch of road, we feel an urge to push the accelerator further. In team fights, after securing a first blood, we wonder if we can achieve a double kill, a triple kill... A perfectly executed play that turns the tide of a battle is just as thrilling as a last-second overtake in a racing showdown. Win the game like a racer, we are born to race.
