For Spirit of the North 2, we're going much bigger with the game world and sending players off to discover a variety of different regions, each with its own flavor featuring unique weather patterns. Additionally, the move to Unreal Engine 5 has given us a range of tools to enhance the handcrafted world, bringing more detailed lighting and effects.

This has been a major focus and our composer has truly elevated the experience of exploring the various landscapes.
