Ask gamers about their top villains, and she's probably one of them: Irene Engel, the main antagonist of Wolfenstein II. She was a brilliant character brought to life with motion capture by the award-winning actress Nina Franoszek. At QUO VADIS 2019, Uke Bosse will host a fireside chat with Nina and Machine Game Creative Director Jens Matthies. Here they will talk about how Nina overcame her prejudices and thus became enthusiastic about video games, and how Jens was the catalysator of her epiphany. Furthermore the session she will give you insights about the intensive production and performance for a multi-layered character like Irene Engel.
