We are Fatshark

We are a critically acclaimed Swedish video game studio with about 190 experienced and skilled developers. We are most well-known for the Warhammer: Vermintide franchise, but have also helped develop a number of AAA titles and we launched the highly anticipated game Warhammer 40,000: Darktide.

We have grown quite a bit over the last few years, but we still embrace the same values that we started with. We want to build the best first person co-op games together, in an approachable, fun and passion-driven way.


The role

Fatshark is seeking an experienced Weapon Artist for Warhammer 40,000: Darktide!

You’ll collaborate with concept artists, animators, and designers to ensure each weapon is authentic, believable, functional, and fantasy fulfilling for our co-op action game. In Darktide, weapons play a core role of a player’s battle throughout Tertium’s unforgiving hive world, and your creations will forge a legacy in the Warhammer 40,000 universe. If you’re ready to shape the arsenal that the war of Tertium needs, we want you on our team.
