Digic Pictures

Founded in Budapest in 2002, Digic Pictures is a high-end 3D animation and visual-effects studio known for photorealistic game cinematics, trailers and long-form animated storytelling. The company began as a CG team created within Black Hole Entertainment for Armies of Exigo, then gained wider international attention through its E3 cinematic trailer work for Assassin’s Creed II in 2008.

Its game-focused work spans pre-rendered and real-time AAA cinematics, announcement trailers, in-game sequences and marketing assets. Supported credits include work across the Assassin’s Creed, Call of Duty, Destiny, The Witcher, Final Fantasy and League of Legends franchises, as well as cinematics for Star Wars Outlaws, Warhammer 40,000: Space Marine 2 and Unknown 9: Awakening.
