Last December 6th 2024, things got seriously exciting around here!
We had the incredible pleasure of welcoming Christian Linke and Woodkid to Fortiche.

Barth Maunoury joined the party, too, to share some creative visual insights!
When you've wrapped a project that's basically a love letter to animation – aka Arcane Season 2 – you don't just grab a few drinks. You throw a Fortiche-style party.

Here at Fortiche, we know how to spice up a Thursday night!
On March 20, 2025, we threw a Drag Bingo party that was anything but your grandma's bingo night. Think glitter, giggles: think DRAG QUEEN! @Angelicastratrice,theundisputedstaroftheevening and our fabulous bingo host, didn't hold back. Her humour was bold, sharp as her eyeliner, and her energy infectious - she kept everyone on their toes.
