We are excited to be rebooting the much-loved Fable franchise and are expanding our diverse team to create a new classic in the action RPG genre.

  • Use knowledge of player verbs to craft experiences which cater to all playstyles.

What you'll bring:

  • 1+ years of Encounter Design experience, with demonstrable work on at least 1 published title (ideally AAA).
  • A portfolio demonstrating highquality Encounter Design work. This portfolio can be submitted as a link to a portfolio website or added as an attachment along with your CV.
  • A flexible, highly motivated and friendly approach to your work.
  • Excellent written and verbal communication skills.
  • A genuine passion for video games.
  • Experience with textbased or visual scripting and level design tools is a plus.
