QIDDIYA BATTLE ROYAL

Qiddiya Battle Royal is a large-scale immersive attraction concept that translates competitive first-person shooter gameplay into a live, physical environment. Developed for one of the world’s most ambitious entertainment destinations, the project explores how digital battle-royal mechanics, spawning, shrinking playfields, and spectator drama can be reimagined as a high-capacity, arena-scale experience for both players and audiences.

The work represents a convergence of esports culture, immersive design, and live entertainment at unprecedented scale.

  • Exploratory design within a collaborative delivery framework

    As part of the broader team, Moongate contributed to early-stage experience exploration focused on how core battle-royal mechanics could translate into physical space. This work examined spatial interpretations of spawning zones, evolving combat areas, and time-based environmental shifts, mirroring the escalating tension found in digital gameplay.

    The intent of this exploration was not to define final execution, but to expand the conversation around what a live, physical battle-royal experience could become at destination scale.

  • POV development for player and spectator coexistence

    A key area of focus was the relationship between active participants and large-scale audiences. Through point-of-view design studies, Moongate explored arena configurations that allow spectators to engage with gameplay as live entertainment—without compromising player immersion, clarity, or safety.

    These studies helped test how competitive play, visibility, and spectacle might coexist within a single environment, informing broader discussions across the project team.

  • Conceptual environments developed as design provocation

    The visual and environmental work presented here represents conceptual world-building developed as part of Moongate’s exploratory contribution. These environments investigate how near-future industrial aesthetics, modular architecture, and dramatic environmental effects could support legibility, pacing, and emotional intensity in a live setting.
