CREATING A NARRITIVE UNIVERSE

Starting with our universe bible, written by John Zur Platten, in collaboration with the Com2US team and WSS, we dove into the Summoner’s War game and evolved it into a rich narrative world. Using the bible as our foundation, we then wrote a short film for animation that included fan favorite characters like Morgana, Durand, Akia and Bernard.

A SHORT FILM, COMICS, AND MORE

In partnership with game publishers Com2uS starting with the creation of a universe narrative bible, we’ve grown the property into the online world with over 75 pieces of digital content, a comic book series, gaming event activations and more. Wind Sun Sky also produced the award nominated short film entitled “Friends and Rivals” based on the game.

ABOUT THE PROJECT:

The short film delves into the lore of the Summoners War universe and follows the journey of two Summoners, friends turned rivals, as they search for a rare gemstone. “As soon as we decided that this short film could be a quest to find a rare gemstone, we thought of the Indiana Jones franchise. The opening of Raiders especially was a major inspiration.” – Paul Furminger, Guild Master Gaming

Teaming up with Axis in Scotland who handled the animation, together we produced this action-packed fantasy world. The animation style and production quality garnered high praise from fans of the game and animation enthusiasts alike.
