Looters - Cinematic Trailer Release
[h3]The Wait is Almost Over, Heisters! ⌛[/h3][p]We’re officially pulling back the curtain on the very first cinematic trailer for Looters. This project represents a massive milestone for us, and we can't wait to show you the world we’ve created![/p][p]Here is the first look at the Looters Cinematic Trailer, now available on Steam and YouTube:[/p][previewyoutube][/previewyoutube][p][/p][p]Creating this trailer required the collaboration of many talented individuals, including Noah, one of our Concept Artists. Noah drew the complete storyboard for the 2D portion of the cinematic. In the opening seconds of the trailer, you’ll see the infamous Goblin King ordering our little Goblins to embark on a risky—but potentially very fruitful—heist mission.[/p][p][/p][p]![]()

Designers Hervée and Akim braved the Unreal Level Sequencer to capture our trailer footage, a tricky task since animations and environments were still being finalized. Thanks to their persistence and Andrea’s lighting work, we perfectly captured the whimsical vibe and core gameplay of Looters.[/p][p][/p][p]WIPs of our trailer below: [/p][carousel]![]()

Aligning everything to the soundtrack's rhythm required an incredible amount of precision and countless iterations. After a marathon of late nights and pure creative fuel, we’re beyond thrilled to finally pull back the curtain on our progress![/p][p]![]()

[/p][h3]Rest in Peace, Goblin King 🪦[/h3][p]So, you’ve seen the trailer... but that’s not the whole story! It’s a bittersweet reality of game dev that some of our favorite work ends up on the cutting room floor. Case in point: our Goblin King 3D cutscene. We realized that polishing this scene to perfection would take more time than our small team had to give. Still, we're too proud of the work our artists did to just throw it away! We’re excited to share this "lost" scene with you as a special behind-the-scenes look at our development journey.[/p][p][/p][previewyoutube][/previewyoutube][p]Showcase of a deleted scene that was originally made for the opening of Looters but that didn't make the final cut. In this scene, the King Goblin gives a quest to his minions, two small Goblins played by the players[/p][p][/p][h3]Mark Your Calendars 🗓️[/h3][p]All in all, the Cinematic Trailer is but a foretaste of what Looters has in store for the final release.[/p][p]Loot Goblins all around the world, mark your calendars: April 10th 2026.[/p][p]Stay tuned... the heist of the century is just beginning.
