With a team of seasoned developers and new creative voices, we are crafting a new IP that blends deep systems, meaningful progression, and a welcoming, emotionally resonant world. If you are excited about designing playable characters that feel powerful, distinct, and deeply connected to the game’s mechanics and narrative, we would love to hear from you. As a Game Designer , you will define how playable characters function, grow, and feel to play. Working closely with multiple disciplines, you will help ensure each character offers a clear identity, engaging mechanics, and a rewarding gameplay experience. *This job is open in our Brighton studio. What you will do Design and develop playable characters, including abilities, kits, and gameplay roles. Prototype, implement, and iterate on character mechanics using proprietary tools. Collaborate closely with combat, systems, narrative, animation, and engineering teams to bring characters to life. Help balance and refine character gameplay across solo and multiplayer experiences. Contribute to progression, rewards, and mastery systems tied to character play. Playtest regularly and iterate based on feedback to improve clarity, balance, and fun. Who you are An experienced game designer with a background in character, combat, or gameplay systems, ideally on AAA titles. Comfortable designing abilities and mechanics that clearly express a character’s fantasy and role. Familiar with the full game development cycle, from early concepts through iteration and polish.

IOI is a studio that values in-person collaboration. Being together helps us focus our collective energy on our immediate goals. For us, being both in-office as well as connected across our studios helps us integrate our teams faster, strengthen relationships, and improve knowledge-sharing.

We know that to achieve those goals, we need courage, talented people and a great working environment – and we do our utmost to have all of that. Across our multiple studios, we’re working on several projects. Crucially though, we’re all one team.
