Flight Simulator 2024 - Stranger Things Update - Rifts

Microsoft Flight Simulator 2024 got a free extension for the release of Stranger Things Season 5, by the end of 2025. With my teammates from Asobo we recreated the city of Hawkins. On the contrary one of my main goals was to create the rifts destroying the city.

It was a very interesting task, very different from what we usually do on Flight Simulator. That came with great challenges as well since the tools were not really meant to do this kind of stuff.

The final visuals look especially great thanks to the VFXs done by Nicolas Lopez as they add depth and drama to the scenes.

Also, many of those shots come from the awesome work from our video team, Louis Theil, Thibaud Seize, Wilbert Nunes Viana and Nicolas Ducher.
