Job Description:

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.

As a Narrative Designer you will help us build a world that speaks to a diverse audience, creating stories that are inclusive. You will also leverage your experience and knowledge of the storytelling craft to balance our game’s narrative goals with Blizzard’s core value of Gameplay First .

You will develop characters, identify and improve structural problems within a narrative, and explain the reasons behind creative decisions. You will also help other members of the team find the appropriate fantasy for their gameplay ideas.

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.

We need your help with:

• Collaborating with other design teams in crafting memorable stories that give structure to our world and the experiences found within
• Mentoring junior and aspiring narrative designer, as well as providing new perspectives to other designers
• Crafting compelling dialog, quest, and all other supporting text
• Lending new perspectives to how we tell stories
• Embracing Blizzard's core value of "Every voice matters," creating a safe space for collaboration, communication, and creativity across all disciplines and departments.

You’re good at:

• Pitching game narrative concepts in a clear, detailed manner, through strong written and verbal skills.
• Being good at organization and meeting deadlines
• Self-critiquing and accept outside feedback.
• Being self-motivated with a strong work ethic.

Extra awesome points for:

• Experience with writing for AAA games
• Published writing work (novels, short fiction, film, television, comics, etc.)
• Enjoy playing a variety of video game genres and titles.
