Tokkun Studio

Tokkun Studio is an independent Franco-Japanese visual development, game art outsourcing and co-development studio founded in 2006. Originally established in Annecy, France, it works across video games, film and transmedia entertainment, combining artistic production with technical development. Its French and Japanese operations support projects for European and Asian entertainment companies.

The studio contributes at several stages of production, from early visual exploration and art direction through asset creation, animation and implementation. Its work encompasses character and creature design, environments, vehicles, weapons, props, illustrations and marketing artwork. Alongside realistic production assets, it develops stylized imagery influenced by anime and manga, with its Japanese operations supporting collaboration with publishers including Nintendo, Capcom and Square Enix.

Art production and game development

Tokkun Studio's services extend beyond standalone art delivery into full-cycle development and co-development. Its capabilities include engineering support, gameplay mechanics implementation, cross-platform adaptation and modernization of older games. Remaster and remake work combines visual updates with technical changes, while cinematic production covers both animated trailers and real-time, in-engine cutscenes.

The studio also provides production pipeline audits, artistic supervision and IP style guides. Supporting services include game audio, localization, quality assurance and console compliance assistance, allowing artistic and technical contributions to sit within a broader production engagement.

Commissioned work and original worlds

Reported projects include Paper Mario: The Origami King, Monster Hunter Rise, Humankind, GunGrave: G.O.R.E and Gwent: The Witcher Card Game. Its portfolio also spans film concept design for Mad Max: Fury Road, virtual reality work on Tales of Wedding Rings VR, and animated promotional work for Astral Ascent. These contributions cover distinct disciplines, including illustration, visual development, environment production and cutscene creation.

Alongside commissioned production, Tokkun Studio develops original intellectual property. Its in-house project PUZKIN: Magnetic Odyssey is a cross-platform, family-oriented MMORPG conceived as a transmedia property, with educational toys and companion animation extending its world beyond the game.
