VOLTA

VOLTA is a Québec-based visual-development and game-art studio creating 2D and 3D artwork for AAA video games and adjacent entertainment properties. Founded in 2006, the studio works across the early creative stages of an IP through to production-ready assets, supporting games, film, animation, television, toys, collectibles, tabletop titles and trading-card games.

Its work spans concept art, visual development, art direction, character and creature design, environment and prop design, storyboarding, matte painting, key art, world building and set dressing. VOLTA also provides 2D production for card illustrations, UI/UX art, exploratory sketches and production callout sheets.

Production capabilities

The studio combines high-resolution and game-ready 3D production with technical-art support. Its services include modeling, texturing, rigging, skinning, modular kits, trim sheets, in-engine asset integration, shader and material authoring, and optimization for production constraints. Its technical-art practice includes workflows for Unreal Engine 5, Unity, Substance 3D Designer and Substance 3D Painter.

Selected work

VOLTA's supported credits include Dragon Age: The Veilguard, Star Wars: The Old Republic, Dead Space (2023), Back 4 Blood, Diablo IV, Sunday Gold, The Outlast Trials, Borderlands 3, For Honor, Call of Duty Mobile, The Elder Scrolls: Legends, Magic: The Gathering, Street Fighter V and Anthem.

Acquired by Keywords Studios in 2016, VOLTA operates as an active creative-art brand within Keywords' Create division. The studio has expanded from its original 2D concept-art and matte-painting practice into broader 3D character and environment production, marketing illustration, cinematics and technical art.
