Concept Artist (Character)

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.

Your main focus will be to fill our game worlds with detailed, interesting and production-friendly concepts for our character, prop and weapon artists. Furthermore, you will research and sync the work with our licensing partner and find references needed to carry out your daily tasks.
