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.

Do you love when things sparkle, glow, smoke, melt, burn and flow? If things go boom, spectacularly, do you get all giddy? Are you obsessed with how VFX can support gameplay and not just be pretty to look at? Do you get annoyed when VFX doesn’t have the right speed and rhythm? Have your friends almost stopped watching movies with you because you always analyze and comment on the special effects? Then why don’t you come on over here and help us make a game? You’ll fit right in.

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!
