Are you an experienced games animator who wants to work with artists and designers to breath life into characters and creatures in a rich and beautiful world?
As a Senior Animator on RuneScape: Dragonwilds, our new open-world survival crafting game currently in early access and being developed in Unreal Engine 5, you will play a pivotal role in delivering high-quality animations that enhance gameplay and support narrative storytelling.
You’ll work across a broad range of creature and humanoid animations, using both hand-keyed and motion capture workflows. Your expertise will help define the benchmark for in-game animation quality, and you’ll be a key player in refining animation systems, pipelines, and cross-discipline collaboration.
This is a hands-on, creative role for someone who thrives on solving complex animation challenges, mentoring others, and delivering impactful performances that elevate the player experience. If you're ready to shape the movement and feel of an ambitious new title within a beloved IP universe, we want to hear from you.
