Rebellion hiring 3D Environment Artist, Oxford
Rebellion is seeking a talented and proactive Mid-Level Environment Artist to play a vital role in shaping the visual identity of an exciting, unannounced AAA video game. In this role, you will bridge the gap between creative imagination and technical execution, taking ownership of both individual hero props and the aesthetic composition of entire game levels. Working in a realistic art style, you will collaborate closely with level designers and technical artists to transform initial design block-outs into immersive, narrative-rich digital spaces. This position requires an artist who goes beyond simple asset replication, bringing original ideas, a strong grasp of current-gen optimization, and an autonomous mindset to a collaborative, multi-studio team.

Founded by Jason and Chris Kingsley, we have grown from a passionate core team into a multi-studio phenomenon that refuses to be boxed into a single category. While Rebellion is globally renowned for developing and publishing critically acclaimed, chart-topping video games, our ecosystem stretches far beyond the digital realm. We own and operate our own state-of-the-art film and television studios. We craft immersive board games that bring people together around physical tables. We publish gripping novels and non-fiction books. Furthermore, as the custodians of the legendary 2000 AD brand, Rebellion is the proud curator, publisher, and steward of some of the world’s most iconic comics and graphic novels—including the dystopian masterpiece, Judge Dredd. When you join Rebellion, you are not just taking a job at a studio; you are becoming an integral part of an expansive, multi-media creative empire. As a massive independent developer, we maintain complete creative freedom over our titles, allowing us to work on an incredible variety of projects across all major current-generation platforms. We love what we do, we have fun doing it, and we are looking for a talented Environment Artist to help us build our next spectacular universe. The Opportunity & Project Vision This is a monumental moment to step into the fold at Rebellion. Fresh off the massive, critically acclaimed success of Atomfall—our largest, most ambitious game launch to date—and building upon the legendary legacy of our flagship Sniper Elite series, we are looking forward to the future. We are seeking a passionate, driven, and technically accomplished artist to help elevate the visual fidelity, atmosphere, and environmental storytelling of a highly anticipated, unannounced project. This is a rare opportunity to get in on the ground floor of an exciting new world, helping Rebellion establish its physical presence from early block-outs to final, polished AAA assets. In this role, you will focus on crafting realistic props, architectural elements, and expansive environments. Rebellion isn’t looking for simple duplicators; we want an artist who brings original ideas to the table, someone who can look at a concept or a blank gray-box level and infuse it with history, narrative depth, and visual texture. Core Roles & Responsibilities As a mid-level artist at Rebellion, a high degree of autonomy, a proactive attitude, and a naturally curious mindset are critical to your success. You will have direct ownership of your work, managing everything from individual hero props to the visual identity of entire levels. Your day-to-day journey will include: Spatial Planning & Visual Storytelling Cross-Discipline Collaboration Asset Production & Management Candidate Requirements & Qualifications We are looking for an artist who sits comfortably at the intersection of technical discipline and raw creative talent.
