About R6:
Round 6 is a short 3D animated film created by Snowball Studios.

Our goal was to make a high quality video game cinematic styled trailer. In order to do this, we invented a video game called Fragball on which we based the action. The film shows an excerpt from the personal story of Snap, a Fragball gamer, as he plays out his last round - round 6.
For in depth information about the making of the film visit our development blog.
About Fragball:
In order for R6 to be consistent and solid, we conceptualized a video game on which it would be based and for which it could be seen as a trailer. After we finished developing what we needed for the film, we ended up with a video game concept which we were very enthusiastic about regardless of R6. We decided to resume development on Fragball independently of R6, but more details about that are currently still confidential.
