When the developers were making this skin line, they first focused on the sound design and then the models.
“For Spectrum, we worked backwards—with audio first, VFX second, and model last,”. “This required us to slightly rethink how we typically produce skins, but also was a fun challenge for the team that allowed us to develop the best skin possible.” said Chris Stone, who is the senior weapon artist
Isaac Kikawa, who is the senior sound designer revealed that ZEDD provided a sound vision for the skins and the devs adjust it to match the gameplay scene. As a result, it created ZEDD’s signature music but did the match the world of VALORANT.
Global Influencer Programs Lead at Riot Games, Aliana Miller revealed on Twitter that the collaboration project took one and a half years to develop and also thanked the dev team for their hardwork.
