We will present it to our community at the launch of our Kickstarter campaign.
But in order to launch the campaign, we need at least 20k people to register to the page. It literally takes a minute to do so, but it would mean the world to us.

The tlatoani was an important figure in the Aztec Empire because they essentially controlled and organized the government, military and economy of the altepetl, the Mesoamerica city-states.

They held the most important position in the Aztec capital of Tenochtitlan, in terms of political hierarchy, and were generally people from higher classes, descendants from royal families present at that time.

On the other hand, the leader who ruled over all of the other altepetls in the Aztec Empire had the title of ‘huey tlatoani’ or ‘Great Speaker’.

As you can see from the concept art of our team, Tlatoani wore fine clothes, jewelry, capes and emblems.

Here is another sneak peek of the animated spin-off series related to the main storyline of Mictlan!

The series will be set in the world of Mictlan, but the protagonists and the events will be separated from the game itself.

In order to create our scenes and environments, we're collaborating with our amazing group of archeologists and historians who are always there to give us useful feedback in order to allow us to bring to life a wonderful, ancient world in a realistic and faithful vision.

If you missed the previous post about the animated series, here it is!

Take a look at the new designs for our main character in Mictlan, who will be interpreted by the talented Mexican actor Horacio García.

Horacio has always advocated for the importance of his Mexica roots and culture. This is particularly evident in his interpretation of Elvis Infante in the popular Netflix series Diablero: a Mexican version of the famous DC character and demon hunter, Constantine. Elvis uses ancient Mexica spells to fight his enemies, managing to bring magic to our modern world.

Horacio's participation in our game, Mictlan, not only makes us very proud but also aligns very well with Horacio's view of continuing to uphold the good name of México and of its culture and traditions, bringing them on the big screens and also in video games!

Santiago Matamoros was the patron saint of the conquest and colonization of the Americas by Spain.

It's him that the Spanish summoned to convert Indigenous people to Christianity. Santiago was also believed to have miraculously helped Spanish Christians in their long struggle against the Caliphate of Cordoba, during the so-called “Reconquest”.

Over the centuries, Santiago Mataindios became syncretized with native deities, especially those associated with water (such as Tlaloc and Chaac), to the point of becoming the patron saint of rain and harvest.

He is an important historical character who could not be missing from our world of Mictlan.
On the basis of the concept art we showed you a while ago, our team has created a 3D model, highlighting his Hispanic knight attire and his distinctly Iberian features, with a touch of warrior majesty, but at the same time a serene semblance, appropriate to the image of the saint.

Do you think we should show Santiago Mataindios's face or keep it hidden out of respect? Let us know in the comments!
