At Relic Entertainment we are developing an original game for PS3 and Xbox 360 and continue to build on our history of award winning games - games like Company of Heroes, Dawn of War, and Homeworld. Experience freedom of creativity and know your contribution is valued and recognized by the Relic team and also by gamers and industry experts around the globe.
Life outside of Relic? You bet. We know, it's a novel idea, but one we not only embrace, we enforce. If you are going to live in Vancouver, you better have time away from work to take advantage of all this city has to offer. Vancouver is consistently ranked in the top most livable cities in the world. Where else can you get up and choose between beach volleyball, city nightlife, or boarding the glacier, all within 90 minutes? We've got mountains. We've got ocean. We've got a chill studio in the heart of downtown. And... We've got donuts every Friday. What more could you ask for?
Do you love Dawn of War? Have you often thought to yourself, “Maybe one day, just one day, my dream will come true and I’ll be able to work on the Dawn of War franchise…as a Multiplayer Designer…”? Well, then, here’s your big chance. Don’t blow it. Apply now.
Your friends will call in the middle of the night, cursing you. When you see them, they’ll wear sunglasses to conceal their bloodshot eyes, and they’ll be alone, because their romantic interests left them without even texting goodbye. They won’t be able to stop playing. It’s a terrible fate, but I’m afraid it’s what we want. And we need your help.
We’re collaborative, cunning, and fiendishly fun, and we want to hear how you can make our game even better. We’re triple-A, strategic, action and adventure. We’re cooperative, online, console-geared and ready to achieve escape velocity. Your friends will bow at your god-like feet…
