According to director of animation Maciej Jackiewicz, working on the trailer was Platige Image’s biggest challenge of the year, "the screenplay of the game involves a large amount of lead characters, difficult close ups of faces and dynamic action full of effects and details as well as difficult sequences in slow motion. The ship plays an important role as well".
