Ritual is one of our last maps for the Gears 5 post launch content. Heavily inspired by our previous DLC content, Ritual is located within a temple in the same chain of islands, but with a darker and more horrific past.
I was the lead level artist on this map, along side a few other level artists on my team. I was heavily involved with the initial concept pitch, as well as taking on areas myself, and directing my team. Ritual was a blast to work on to continue to push Gears of War in to new locations the audience hasn't seen before. I'd like to give a big thanks to all of the different departments who came together to get this map together.
Special thanks to the level artists on my team, and Joshua Cook, our art director:
