Greetings, Legends!
We are beyond excited to unveil four brand-new emotes to Legend Battles, inspired by some of the most iconic K-Pop groups in the world today. These dances are rituals honoring Bellona, the Roman goddess of war, designed to channel her strength and help you claim victory on the battlefield.
But that's not all — we’ve also gone all out in capturing the essence of K-Pop by using cutting-edge motion capture technology, the same used in Hollywood 3D animated movies, to ensure these emotes are as authentic as possible. And to make these emotes even more special, we’ve created a video and GIFs inspired by the MEOVV group and their "DROP TOP" song that we adore almost as much as we adore Bellona herself!
Ritual Dances & Durations
Each emote represents a ritual dance to honor Bellona before and during your battle. These moves will get you pumped, powerful, and ready for any enemy in your path. The dances are inspired by K-Pop hits that have racked up tens or hundreds of millions of views on YouTube and are instantly recognizable.
Emote 1 – Duration: 23 seconds Inspired by the MEOVV group and their hit "DROP TOP", this sharp, energetic dance will prepare you to dominate the battlefield.
Emote 2 – Duration: 38 seconds Inspired by (G)i-dle’s hit "Good Thing", this fluid and graceful dance will embody both power and precision.
Emote 3 – Duration: 40 seconds Inspired by the HUNTR/X group and their track "Golden", this bold and stylish dance reflects their rising presence in the K-Pop scene.
Emote 4 – Duration: 41 seconds Inspired by KATSEYE and their electric hit "Gnarly", this powerful and intense dance will give you a commanding presence on the battlefield.
Brought to Life with Unreal Engine 5.6 & Motion Capture Technology
We are proud to say that these ritual dances were created using the latest Unreal Engine 5.6 technology, allowing us to capture the very essence of these K-Pop performances in stunning detail. We've utilized Metahumans, exclusive groom hair technology in Chaos 5.6, and designed all the exclusive clothing in Chaos 5.6 technologies to bring these emotes to life in ways you've never seen before.
And here's something we’re extra proud of: The video and GIFs inspired by the MEOVV group’s "DROP TOP" song are entirely created within our Steam app, with no retouching, no sequencer, and no video tools. The 3D kinematic sequences you see are pure, raw performance footage, all rendered in-engine without external video editing. We are showcasing the power of our own game technology to honor these K-Pop legends.
Tribute to K-Pop Genius: MEOVV
As part of our tribute, we’d like to take a moment to mention that we are particularly inspired by the MEOVV group. Their members — Ella, Gawon, Sooin, Narin, and Anna — are the true geniuses of K-Pop music. We have paid homage to them in our latest update, crafting these dance emotes with the same level of care and detail that we would give to any true warriors of the art form. The MEOVV emote (inspired by their song "DROP TOP") has a special place in our hearts, and we can’t wait for you to see it in action!
MetaHumans: Hyper-Realistic Characters in Legend Battles
One of the key technologies behind these emotes is MetaHumans, powered by Unreal Engine 5.6.
What Are MetaHumans? MetaHumans are hyper-realistic digital characters, created with ultra-detailed textures, facial fidelity, and lifelike movement animations.
Why It Matters in Legend Battles In Legend Battles, we use MetaHuman technology to achieve stunning visual renderings of our characters. This allows for:
Realistic textures that capture even the smallest details of skin, hair, and clothing.
Fluid, lifelike animations enhanced by motion capture.
Very high graphical fidelity, letting you feel immersed in every performance and battle.
This is the same technology being adopted across film and next-gen games, and we are proud to bring it into Legend Battles for the most realistic and immersive experience possible.
Availability
These fantastic new emotes will be available with our next update, and you’ll be able to unlock them through the in-game store or via special events. We are excited to hear your feedback, as we plan to bring these K-Pop legends into the battlefield as playable characters in the future — based entirely on your comments and the energy you bring to the game.
