Behind the Scenes: Inspiration and Storytelling
The Imperium bundle in Valorant proudly showcases East Asian weaponry and armor aesthetics, placing the legendary dragon as its central motif.
Speaking on the design inspiration, Art Direction Senior Manager, Kerwin Atienza, elaborated, “We were inspired by the dragons of the East and jewel materials. We worked with our China team and looked at artifacts from China to see how we can incorporate the gold ornaments in the gun design. Our goal was to make the weapons feel like they were treasures imbued with magic. The variants were inspired by Chinese mythology, with each weapon variant representing different dragon kings and their respective colors.”
Character Art Manager, Bastien Ramisse, spoke about the challenges and solutions in designing such an ambitious finisher. “We had many challenges with a Finisher of this scale. In most enclosed areas, the dragon would overlap with the environment. We made sure that there would always be something interesting for the player to see by having the enemy player encased in the crystal at ground level. Our character and technical art team worked hard on the visuals of the dragon and how it blends with the environment to make sure that in most cases the dragon would be visible in its magnificence,”
