Ubisoft is an equal opportunity employer that believes diverse backgrounds and perspectives are key to creating worlds where both players and teams can thrive and express themselves. If you are excited about solving game-changing challenges, cutting edge technologies and pushing the boundaries of entertainment, we invite you to join our journey and help us create the unknown.

For Honor is a live game that constantly pushes its limits! We reinvent ourselves with two "title updates" (TUs) every season: we add or activate content every 6 weeks! With 4 seasons a year, this means players receive 8 TUs, allowing us to get immediate feedback on what we've delivered – we quickly see what works well and what doesn’t. We adapt, with continuous iterations and constant learning. That's what a "live game" is all about.

Do you want to jump into action and grow rapidly? Join us!
