Project Overview

Flashpoint Berlin is an urban Cold War-era map for World of Tanks: Mercenaries, set against the divided German capital at the height of geopolitical tension. The map features dense cityscapes, elevated ruins, iconic Berlin architecture, and narrow alleyways that transform tank combat into intense close-quarters urban warfare.

Role

As Senior Environment Artist on Flashpoint Berlin, I contributed to look development, lighting, optimization, map loading screen and minimap design, terrain sculpting, foliage placement, and set dressing across the map. My work focused on capturing the tense, atmospheric character of Cold War-era Berlin while maintaining the gameplay readability and performance targets required for competitive multiplayer at scale.
