Job Description

Mission:

As a Scriptwriter at Ubi Shanghai, you will create a foundation of words and ideas to provide players with the freedom to build unique experiences and make meaningful choices.

You develop the embedded and emergent narrative elements that make up a living, breathing, reactive world. Be it a story or gameplay-focused game, you craft content that gives purpose to the people, places, and things within it, and helps players understand what they need to do.

What you will do:

- Partner with the narrative and creative directors to understand the overall game vision.

- Brainstorm and research ideas + discuss your findings with collaborative teams.

- Work with other writers, designers, and artists to develop consistent content (plot, setting, characters, barks, dialogue, events, lore, item descriptions, tutorials, etc.).

- Write, write, rewrite, proofread, polish (and repeat).

- Create and maintain narrative documentation (character bios, location descriptions, item names, etc.) to guide cross-functional teams throughout production.

- Revise your work to reflect comments from interdependent teams and changes to gameplay.

- Occasionally take part in recording sessions with voice-over actors, and help with marketing projects.

- In certain cases, follow up on your content post-launch and rework it based on player feedback (improve, add, or remove narrative elements).

- Learn and understand the lore of an IP universe, then work within the IP restrictions, by creating content that strictly respects the lore / canon.

Qualifications

What you should be equipped with:

- Proven writing experience or related experience, understanding of game design fundamentals and all stages of development

- A highly creative, collaborative, and innovative spirit.

- Curiosity, flexibility, and plenty of resourcefulness

- Excellent organizational, communication, interpersonal, and presentation skills

- Ability to adapt to feedback and to improvise

Additional Information

What you will also get:

• An international working environment
• FUN Culture
• Lots of love from your colleagues!
