Background

About Roy Ashkar

I have built a distinguished career in the gaming industry, with one of my most notable positions at SQUARE ENIX, where I played a pivotal role in defining the visual identity of the highly acclaimed LARA CROFT GO franchise. This franchise received widespread critical acclaim and swept major awards in the mobile gaming category, including the prestigious Game Award for Mobile Game of the Year and Apple’s Game of the Year award. Building on my successful tenure SQUARE ENIX, I ventured to establish POLYBOX STUDIOS, a world-class creative & forward thinking studio based in Montreal, Canada, renowned for pioneering innovation across art, design, and technology within the gaming, animation, and Virtual Reality industries. POLYBOX quickly gained recognition for publishing premium content on the Unity Store, establishing itself as one of the platform's top premium publishers and becoming a global leader in that field and more particularly in Low-Poly Art. Currently, I continue to leverage my expertise and creativity to design and direct new, high-end content for release on the Unity Store, exploring a wide array of novel art styles. My journey from shaping iconic gaming franchises to founding a successful studio acclaimed for its high-end content, highlights my commitment and contributions to the gaming, animation and digital entertainment industry.
