“It was a joy to work with a games team who is first, super talented, and secondly, had a handful of Sunny fans who understood exactly what we were doing.” “Red Storm also did a great job modeling avatars for the Masked Man, White Knight and Poppy,” says Kreinik. “We worked with a real game dev team, to make a fake game, that feels like a real game, for a TV series,” says Altman. “You’ll see Ubisoft brands like Assassin’s Creed and For Honor, and titles from other studios, like Kingdom Come: Deliverance, among others.” Those shots are primarily used for transitions between scenes, while the team at Red Storm crafted the actual Mythic Quest seen in Mythic Quest.
“There are two types of game footage in the series: from existing games and those custom-crafted for the show,” says Altman. To pull it off believably, Ubisoft brought in its studio Red Storm (which has worked on the Far Cry and Tom Clancy’s Rainbow Six and Ghost Recon franchises) to create original game assets and “actual working gameplay sandboxes that we shot practically as the actors played on set,” explains Altman. Game footage is a big part of Mythic Quest, not only as the central theme of the show’s overall plot, but also as interstitial segues between scenes and stages for some of the series’ most dramatic moments. “If we’re going to make a show about video games, the game part needs to be legit.” “We’re Ubisoft,” adds Jason Altman, head of film and television, and also an exec producer.
