Histeria! Studios teams up once again with Riot Games to deliver a chaotic and fun 3D mini-cinematic celebrating April Fools in Teamfight Tactics. This time, the beloved and iconic Pengu Garen takes center stage with a brand-new skin and a bespoke arena. Capturing TFT’s eccentric, self-aware, and unapologetically ridiculous personality, we created a mini-cinematic that feels as wild and lighthearted as the game itself, putting Pengu Garen in the spotlight with a new look and an arena designed specifically for his big moment.

In true Histeria! fashion, our team structured its pipeline around Blender. Animation was completed in Maya and compositing in Nuke, while all 3D elements, including look development, grooming, lighting, shading, and final rendering, were executed in Blender. This approach gave us greater control over the visual language, allowing us to balance high-energy visuals with the acting and physical humor that define April Fools in gaming. The result is a charming and funny piece that reflects the community’s love for the character.
