The interactive concert, produced by Riot Games and virtual entertainment leader Wave, premiered on Wednesday, 08 September, in support of the worldwide release of Pentakill’s new album III: Lost Chapter.
We created a multidimensional concert environment in close collaboration with a team of CG and real-time experts from production studio, The Mill.
The result is an immersive environment that lets fans engage with Pentakill in a fantasy world stretched by the limits of imagination like never before.
Our design included flying and integrated stages, video screens and lighting, a stage sculpture on the shoulder of guitarist Mordekaiser, a cavernous forge hundreds of meters under the ruins of the stadium, and a monumental kinetic metronome that becomes Pentakill rival Viego’s tower – the architectural and narrative centrepiece of the concert experience.

CEO & Creative Director
"Joining forces with Riot Games and The Mill, Stufish embarked on this amazing journey into the fantastic world of Pentakill to create one of our most spectacular stage sets and the world beyond”.
