You’ll own the world-building layer of our next title. The main story arc and mission flow are largely locked your mission is to excavate the history, cultures, factions, myths, everyday slang, and diegetic artifacts and everything else to make that framework feel ancient, lived-in, and irresistibly explorable. Think codices, in-game books, barks, item flavor text, quest briefs, environmental storytelling cues, menu copy, and marketing one-liners.
Key Responsibilities
Deep-dive world-building – Develop timelines, cultural touchstones, political structures, religions, technology, and regional quirks that logically support existing story beats.
In-game writing – Draft and iterate on dialogue, journals, inscriptions, UI/tool-tip copy, and incidental VO scripts.
Lore documentation – Maintain a single-source-of-truth lore bible that is searchable, version-controlled, and designer-friendly.
Narrative integration – Partner with level, quest, and combat designers to seed lore hooks directly into layouts, objectives, and mechanics.
Tone & continuity gatekeeping – Review all narrative assets for consistency with established canon, voice, and style.
Collaboration & feedback – Present work in sprint reviews, incorporate cross-disciplinary feedback, and give constructive notes on narrative content produced by other teams.
Requirements
Any professional experience writing lore or narrative content for shipped games, interactive media, tabletop RPGs, or speculative fiction.
A portfolio that shows both macro world-building and micro in-game writing (dialogue, item descriptions, etc.) is very helpful.
Proven ability to reverse-engineer lore that logically explains pre-existing plot events and gameplay systems.
Strong understanding of branching dialogue, pacing, and player agency in game narratives.
Excellent written English and a toolbox of concise, punchy prose styles.
Comfort with version control (Git or Perforce) and collaborative writing tools is a plus.
Familiarity with scripting, visual scripting, or programming is a large plus.
Background in linguistics or constructed languages is a plus.
Experience with UI/UX or Marketing is a plus.
What Success Looks Like
Within a couple months, the team can answer any lore question by searching your well-structured bible.
Playtesters organically reference in-game myths, jokes, or region-specific slang you created.
Designers report that your lore sparks new side-quest or environment ideas rather than constraining them.Item description
