Description
GAMEPLAY ENGINEER
Let's talk some truth: Making games is hard. It's a collision of art and
technology that’s about as predictable as a tornado. There's no secret formula,
no foolproof blueprint—but it certainly helps to have a reason for making games
in the first place. "Every Player's Story is Unique." At Hangar 13,
that's why we make games. We’re currently creating an intense action game set
in an immersive world and with a strong narrative, but player agency is at the
heart of everything we do. We want to give players the freedom to choose how to
overcome challenges and make meaningful decisions that shape the world and
characters around them.
Hangar 13 is the newest 2K development studio.
We’re focused on creating AAA games for console and PC. The studio is comprised
of industry veterans drawn from a diverse range of studios, who have
collectively shipped hundreds of titles across a wide variety of genres. We are
located just thirty minutes north of San Francisco and in production on our
first title, Mafia III, available October 7, 2016. We’re currently building our
own proprietary engine and tools in service of
our next AAA title, still unannounced.
