ANSWER: When we started working on this pass, we wanted to create items that players around the world wanted to use to express themselves. We collaborated with our regional teams to come up with items that felt relevant to their players. We had a lot of fun discovering the different memes, callouts, traditions, and metas players are using and that we otherwise might not have known about. I hope players will have as much fun as we did discovering the meaning behind items like the Watermelon Splitting Spray, Tactibear’s Balalaika Spray, Turtle Ship Gun Buddy, and the Goinmul Title even if they aren’t from the regions that inspired them. 

ANSWER: We wanted the items to feel as true to the regions that inspired them as possible. For the “Home Again” player card series we asked, “what would be the first thing this Agent would do when visiting home?” Again, we worked with our regional teams to come up with some ideas and had a ton of fun brainstorming and learning from them. We tried to choose ideas that would remind players of coming home and hopefully the final artwork evokes those feelings. We also used this opportunity to develop some of our Agents’ backstories. For instance, those who love Chamber may be interested to see that in his  “Home Again // Chamber” card he spends his free time in the French Riviera, or that Brimstone might enjoy a baseball game in his hometown as seen in the “Home Again // Brimstone” card.  

ANSWER: The team had a lot of fun working on the weapon skins in this pass. The Divine Swine skinline, for instance, started out as a misinterpretation by one of our interns who was meant to just create a pink themed skinline which ended up including imagery of Theo the Pig (you may have seen him around Ascent) on the weapons then further evolved into the fun storybook-esque moving images that you see on the final version.
