“When a company the size of Disney steps into European development, it's pretty big news. Disney employs over 100,000 staff. It’s one of the biggest Entertainment companies in the world and it's getting serious about original games.
We're a strong studio of just over a hundred people, based at the heart of beautiful and cosmopolitan Brighton, UK. Just a quick train ride away from London in an office where pretty much everyone gets a sea view. The atmosphere is relaxed and friendly but focussed and our role is to create original racing game franchises.
We have talented people and a healthy studio atmosphere with the support of a global giant. It's a great time to join one of the most promising collaborations in the UK.
We're looking for good people across all disciplines at all levels for Next-Gen development. We want the best and can offer one of the best packages in the UK in return.”
