We Want You

A new world and a new journey await you. It is a world different from any other Blizzard has created.

If you’re a passionate game developer, and, well, a good human being, then we’d love to talk to you. We have a new AAA survival game in the works, set in a new IP for PC/Console. It’s going to be amazing, and we’d love to bring you along for the ride. Together, we’ll build something big, bold, and beautiful.

We’re looking for a versatile and creative Character Concept Artist to help us build a new survival game for Blizzard. Your goal is to bring characters, creatures… no, scratch that… your goal is to help bring an entire world to life! You’ll be providing inspiring art to inspiring gameplay. If you love your craft, it doesn’t get much better than this role.

We believe our team is good. Really good. Granted, we’re obviously biased. But we also believe there are lots of developers out there who can make us even better. You could be one of those people. If you’re looking for a team where inclusion, thoughtfulness, empathy, professionalism, and collaboration are all seen as critically important, we believe our team could be a phenomenal fit for you. Join us and help craft our future!

COVID-19 Hiring Update:

We've transitioned to a work-from-home model, and we're continuing to interview and hire during this time. This role is expected to begin as a remote position. We understand each person's circumstances may be unique and will work with you to explore possible interim options.

You’re good at:

• Creating exceptional concept art!
• Inspiring people around you with your art, by being highly imaginative when you create characters, gear, weapons, props, and more. Your art skills can excite a team and contribute to the unique visual direction of a new game.
• Creating a diverse and wide range of alluring and inspiring creature concepts that draw players into a world while helping 3D character artist model and texture them.
• Creating jaw-dropping illustration work to capture the feel of the game and excite others by its unique artistic vision.
• Partnering with other artists, designers, and engineers to collaborate on creatively complex assignments to develop an inspiring art vision for this new Blizzard experience.
• Collaborating. Creating epic entertainment experiences is a team effort and you thrive when exploring ideas and working with others.
• Executing on all aspects of being a Concept Artist. You fully understand how to contribute to the overall game development process.

• Managing your time independently. You know when to work quickly to generate conceptual ideas and when to slow down and polish an image for public consumption.
• Understanding anatomy. In fact, you probably have an exceptional understanding of human and creature anatomy, and you also know how to stylize your art to create compelling, interesting, memorable diverse characters that fit the specific needs of the project.

Extra awesome points for:

• Having experience working with 3D modeling or sculpting programs like Zbrush to quickly get your ideas generated.
• Playing lots of games. If you love games, movies, animation, and you love dissecting them and thinking about how to take them to the next level, you’ll feel right at home.
• Having a passion for Blizzard games and our game universes.

You’ll need to provide us with:

• Your Resume
• Your Portfolio – Only digital applications will be accepted such as a website, blog, or online album. Physical media will not be accepted.
