What is Olympus?
Olympus is the third map in Apex Legends, set in a sprawling floating city in the sky. We aimed to design a map that starkly contrasts with the previous, more organic and darker-toned maps. Olympus features bright blue skies and inviting vistas, offering diverse environments such as spaceports, farms, bustling downtown areas, and even a lab with a mysterious experiment gone awry.
What was my role?
I was responsible for assisting with the level design of Olympus, focusing on theming and landmarking. I conceptualized architecture and distinctive features for each major zone on the map. My work involved creating detailed 3D models of significant areas, which helped level designers test new locations. I collaborated closely with the Level Designer, Environment Art Lead, and Design Director, adapting our designs based on playtest feedback. Once the zones were established, I worked with the Environment Art Lead to develop new architectural kits for each area.
