• Conduct narrative research and digest existing materials such as novels, comics, and previous game installments to maintain internal consistency.
• Support licensees with narrative guidance, writing feedback, and editorial notes in collaboration with our copywriting and English adaptation teams.
• Participate in the creation of franchise documentation, articles, and other world-building materials to support narrative design across departments.

Qualifications

• Strong English writing skills with attention to tone, clarity, and world-building.
• Proven ability to analyze and synthesize large amounts of lore or fictional content.
• Familiarity with CDPR’s franchises (Cyberpunk and The Witcher), or a willingness to deep-dive and learn them thoroughly.
• Research skills and a critical approach to written media.
• Strong communication skills and ability to collaborate across disciplines.
• Experience working in or with game development pipelines is a plus.

Nice to Have:

• Experience working on licensed properties or transmedia IP.

If you're applying as a writer or narrative designer, we encourage you to submit a portfolio or writing samples that showcase your voice and world-building skills.
