A look back on 2025

As 2025 comes to a close, I’ve been reflecting on what an exciting and rewarding year it’s been for Image Engine. The visual effects and film industry continues to evolve, and through it all, our team has shown incredible creativity, skill, and dedication.

This year, our artists and production teams delivered outstanding work across a wide range of projects, including:

• The Gorge

• The Residence

• Murderbot

• The Old Guard 2

• Invasion Season 3

• The Abandons

• Tron: Ares

• Keeper

• Percy Jackson and the Olympians Season 2

Among these highlights, we created truly unsettling horror visual effects on Keeper and tackled our biggest water simulation scene ever for Percy Jackson and the Olympians, pushing our technical and artistic capabilities to new heights. Looking ahead to 2026, we’re thrilled about the projects and creative opportunities on the horizon. It will be a year full of innovation, collaboration, and exciting challenges that will continue to drive us forward.

Wishing everyone a wonderful holiday season and a bright, inspiring start to 2026.
