What is Asobo Studio?
David Dedeine, co-founder and Creative Director of the studio, answers the question in this video.
In short: Innovation x Immersion x Emotion
For more than 20 years, we have been behind 26 games for PC and consoles, including famous franchises, original games and innovative creations.
Today, we work with more than 300 collaborators on Microsoft Flight Simulator, the A Plague Tale franchise and HoloForge, the studio's XR department.
As a studio, our goal is to create exceptional, memorable interactive experiences for our players.
Pursuing this goal is a daily source of inspiration and satisfaction. It pushes us to always do better, to progress and to surpass ourselves: that is what guides us and gives meaning to everything we do here.
Why joining us in this role is a great opportunity?
As Senior VFX Artist, you will play a central role in defining the visual identity of the project.
You will have real freedom to explore, experiment and propose new approaches, while working closely with the Tech Art and Engine teams to push the possibilities offered by our proprietary engine and our tools.
This is a role where your artistic and technical expertise will have a concrete impact on the play experience, and where you will be encouraged to keep developing your skills alongside an experienced and ambitious team that previously created "A Plague Tale: Innocence", "A Plague Tale: Requiem" and, soon, "Resonance: A Plague Tale Legacy".
