In this cinematic, we tell the story of Bangalore, the consummate professional soldier from a family of soldiers. We see Bangalore who is torn between her brother and the only cause she’s ever known, loyalty to the IMC. Bangalore has difficult decisions to make - and hard consequences to face - after the Battle of Gridiron.

Creatively led by Psyop, and directed by Trevor Conrad, Jack Anderson and Alexei Bochenek, the Puppetworks team produced this breathtaking 8-minute cinematic from 3D previz to final composite. After EA released the cinematic, it was extremely well received with more than 2 million views received in its first week alone on Youtube.
