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?
In this position you will work with a world class team to produce one of the most anticipated games in this arena. SpaceMarine is an Action RPG where the player becomes the ultimate defender of humanity – a mighty Space Marine- sent to stop the brutal Ork invasion of a Vital Forge World.

We manage projects to deliver the highest quality games within reasonable time frames and budgets, and we enjoy a stable and supportive relationship with our parent company, THQ, one of the world’s largest publishers.
