Production notes[edit]

The Raijin armour was created by the Berlin-based outsource studio Airborn Studios.[3] Internally, the armour was known by the codename A087 during development.[4]

Trivia[edit]

Raijin is a god of lightning, thunder and storms in Japanese mythology. Fittingly, the skin names both reference lightning (a "sprite" being a small burst of lightning from cloud to an object, and "stormstrike" presumably being a lightning strike.)
