Hogwarts Legacy - Cairn Dungeons

This is a sampling of some of the Concept Art and Designs for the Cairn Dungeons found in Hogwarts Legacy. The ideas here were inspired by the real-world Cairns found in Scotland. The trick was to take that inspiration and expand the scale to make it interesting to play in.

Games are a collaborative effort. Even Concept Art is shaped and influenced by others on the development team. Thanks to the following who helped me to figure out the design for this dungeon:

- Mike Thompson (Art Director)
- Lyle Thompson (World Artist)

This early concept art for the Cairn Dungeons of Hogwarts Legacy was exploring the idea of expanding the scale of what a dungeon inspired by real cairns could be.

These concepts were done to translate the game designer's sketches into the visual design of the Cairn Dungeons. They were then used by the Layout and World Rendering Teams to fully realize these in Unreal Engine 4.
