The developer of The Guild: Europa 1410, Ashborne Games, recently released a behind-the-scenes look at how they created the game’s live-action announcement trailer.

Here are some of the key details about the trailer’s production:

Live-Action Focus: The trailer is primarily a live-action short film that captures the core themes of the game: climbing the social ladder, politics, and building a dynasty in a medieval society.

Developer Involvement: The most notable aspect of the production is that the game’s own developers from Ashborne Games traded their keyboards for medieval attire and starred in the trailer themselves. This demonstrates their passion for the project and a unique, personal touch.

Themes and Elements: The trailer showcases a range of medieval life and intrigue, including nobles and commoners, soldiers, thieves, a dramatic execution scene, romance, and a real raven.

Production Company: The live-action portion of the trailer was created in collaboration with the production team from a company called Gnomon. https://theguild.thqnordic.com/

Purpose: The trailer’s purpose was not just to show gameplay, but to immerse viewers in the world of The Guild and highlight the narrative possibilities within the game, such as becoming a merchant, a priest, a blacksmith, or a thief.

The live-action component of the trailer was combined with snippets of gameplay footage to give viewers a taste of the simulation elements and the world they can influence. This behind-the-scenes reveal highlights the hard work and attention to detail that went into creating the cinematic announcement for the upcoming game.
