Build a worldnever seen before.

Mercenary Planet is an original sci-fi universe taking shape across games, stories, characters and interactive experiences. At its core is an ambitious sci-fi action RPG built in Unreal Engine — the first chapter of a universe designed to grow far beyond a single game.

We're looking for artists, developers, designers, storytellers and creators who want more than a job on a project. We want people who want to help build a universe.

Culture

Small team.
Big world.

Mercenary Planet is being built by a growing team with an ambitious vision. Joining at this early stage means your contribution has a direct, visible impact.

You won't be working on a tiny piece of something enormous. You'll help shape the enormous thing itself.

Ownership — your work, your decisions, your name on it
Experimentation — new tools and ideas are welcome
Open communication — direct access to the people leading the project
A willingness to learn — there will be challenges, and things we haven't figured out yet. That's part of the journey.
