Are you an environment artist ready to leave your mark on a bold, stylised open world built in Unreal Engine 5?
This is a hands on role where you’ll have real creative ownership across the full environment pipeline: from asset creation and world building to final in-engine implementation. You’ll be shaping explorable landscapes in a stylised visual direction rooted in exaggerated realism – think bold, characterful worlds with serious craft behind them. Working closely with art leadership, design, and engineering, you’ll ensure assets are visually consistent, technically sound, and optimised for a large, interconnected world.
If you love building rich, believable game worlds and want to see your work explored by players, this is the role for you.
