One of the great urban followers of the video game, Half-Life 2 Art Director and Dishonored Viktor Antonov image designer, died at the age of 52.
Although there is no official announcement from Antonov’s family, some of his former colleagues posted a goodbye message on social media. “I don’t want to say much until I felt it was confirmed, but today I knew that Viktor Antonov, who leads our vision on HL2, died,” said the half -life writer Marc Laiidlaw in an Instagram posted by Eurogamer. “I have no details. It’s just sadness. It’s brilliant and original. Make everything better.”
“Rip Viktor Antonov,” the creative director of Wolfeye Studios and the founder of Arkane Raphael Colulonio on Twitter. “I wish I told you how much I admired you but we were caught up in our lives until this surprise lime hit us. You are the tool for the success of Arkane Studios and an inspiration for many of us, also a friend that I have many beautiful memories.”
Born in Sofia, Bulgaria, Antonov started playing games as a map artist for Redneck Rampage in 1997. After that, he worked on Kingpin shooting inspired by Art Deco: the life of criminals, before a famous job in the city. Science fiction game developers today. I confess, I like his achievement as an intuitive designer for Dishonored Brickwork Dunwall by Dishonrinth Dunwall Dunwall.
After the release of Dishonored, Antonov worked in a more supporting role in some Zenimax media projects. He consulted Doom’s development in 2016 and prey in 2017. He also worked on some canceled games, including Arkane The Crossing and Bethesda Game Studios of Austin’s Battlecry. In 2022, Antonov co -founded the common wing to work on the mysterious Project DG, a game about a gunman to explore a world “on the brink of destruction”.
Rest in peace.
