Writer

A passion for fantasy worlds has long been ingrained in our studio, and at last we can announce we have embarked on a journey into that beloved realm. With a party of veteran IOI guild members and new wizards and sorceresses of the industry, we are building an ambitious new IP for console and PC that will revolutionize the online fantasy RPG genre. If you share a similar passion for creating welcoming, heartfelt, bold and impactful worlds, join us and together we will write the next chapter in IOI's history.

We are seeking a Writer to join the team behind Project Fantasy, helping craft compelling, character-driven narratives that reflect our commitment to diverse and engaging storytelling.

In this role, you will be responsible for outlining in-mission and in-game narratives, writing dialogue (story, ambient, systemic), and creating descriptive content that brings our characters and world to life. You'll play a key role in ensuring narrative consistency across the game while collaborating with a passionate team of designers, artists, and fellow writers.

This is a permanent position based in one of our studios, with the option to work from home one day per week.

What you will do:

• Develop engaging, multi-dimensional characters and storylines that align with the project’s themes and vision.
• Structure and write story outlines, narrative scenes with impactful dialogue, and supplementary text, managing the process from concept through to final delivery, under guidance from the Main Writer.
• Work with the Main Writer and designers to conceive missions, scenarios, and objectives that align with broader narrative goals.
• Create location, character, and item descriptions that add depth and context to the world.
• Write and edit banter, enemy dialogue, systemic and objective text, and other dynamic narrative content that enhances player immersion.
• Work closely with designers and artists to build narrative-driven locations, quests, and cutscenes that tell coherent, emotionally powerful stories.
• Participate in writers’ room sessions and table reads, contributing to collaborative story development and working directly with cinematic artists, directors, and performance talent.

Who you are:

• A skilled storyteller with experience writing for games, and a strong grasp of character-driven narratives
• Passionate about fantasy settings and worldbuilding
• An effective collaborator who thrives in cross-disciplinary teams
• Confident taking ownership of content while staying open to feedback and iteration
