Guerrilla Games, the visionary studio behind the critically acclaimed Horizon franchise and the legendary Killzone series, is offering an extraordinary opportunity for a talented World Art – Features Intern. Located in our state-of-the-art studio in the historic heart of Amsterdam, this internship is designed for aspiring environment artists who want to master the art of digital world-building at a AAA scale.

As the largest game studio in the Netherlands, Guerrilla provides an unparalleled ecosystem for creative growth. Our World Art team doesn’t just “place assets”; we craft compositions that breathe life into vast, immersive landscapes—from overgrown skyscrapers and ancient ruins to lush, machine-stalked forests. If you are a student with an eye for silhouette and a passion for environmental storytelling, we invite you to help us build the next great adventure.

The World Art team at Guerrilla Games is a dedicated group of creators committed to the craft of environmental composition. We work at the intersection of Art Direction and Technical Design, ensuring that every frame of the game world tells a story while supporting fluid, engaging gameplay.

Collaborative Vision

Guerrilla Games collaborate closely with the Concept Art team to translate 2D visions into 3D realities. We also work side-by-side with Level Designers to ensure that our environments are not only beautiful but functional for combat, exploration, and narrative beats.

Diverse Environmental Themes

During your time at Guerrilla, you will gain exposure to a staggering variety of biomes and structures:

• Natural Landscapes: Crafting everything from dry deserts and snowy peaks to vibrant, lush jungles.
• Human Settlements: Building rustic campsites, vibrant tribal hubs, and the stark remains of destroyed outposts.
• Ancient Remnants: Designing the crumbling ruins of the “Old World,” where nature has reclaimed towering skyscrapers and industrial complexes.

This internship is a hands-on journey through the AAA world-building pipeline. You will be integrated into our workflow, using the same professional tools and engines as our senior staff.

1. Asset Integration & Speedmodeling

You will learn to create and integrate speedmodel assets into our proprietary game engine. You will focus on building modular sets that are highly reusable and optimized for performance. Learning to work within a specific technical pipeline is a core skill you will develop here, ensuring your art meets the high requirements of a Sony-published title.

2. Environment Dressing

You will design and create detailed, reusable environments for world dressing. This involves placing assets to create a lived-in feel, managing the “visual noise,” and ensuring that the composition leads the player’s eye naturally through the space.

3. Gameplay & Combat Spaces

World Art isn’t just about aesthetics. You will work on unique environments with specific requirements for gameplay and combat. You will learn how to use cover, line-of-sight, and terrain height to create tactical arenas that are both challenging and visually stunning.

4. Troubleshooting & Collaboration

You will participate in daily reviews, playtesting sessions, and collaborative meetings. You will also assist the team in troubleshooting technical issues related to World Art, gaining a deep understanding of how to optimize assets for real-time rendering and zero-downtime environments.

Guerrilla Games is looking for a student artist who possesses a blend of artistic sensitivity and technical rigor.

Mandatory Requirements:

• Academic Enrollment: You must be currently enrolled in a Dutch educational institution in a relevant field (Game Art, 3D Design, Fine Arts, etc.).
• Location: You must be able to work on-site in our Amsterdam studio and be within a reasonable commuting distance.
• Legal Status: You must be eligible to live and work in the Netherlands.
• Availability: You are available for a full-time internship starting in September 2026.

Your Artistic Profile:

• Composition & Silhouette: You have a strong foundational understanding of how to use silhouette and composition to build visually impressive and balanced scenes.
• Software Proficiency: You have experience with a DCC package (Maya, Blender, or 3ds Max) and a modern game engine (Unreal Engine or Unity).
• Visual Storytelling: You don’t just place a rock; you think about why it’s there. You have a passion for telling stories through the environment.
• Communication Skills: You enjoy working in a multi-disciplinary team and can articulate your creative choices clearly.
• Problem-Solving: You have the grit to work through technical challenges and find creative workarounds.

Guerrilla Games is a studio that values the unique perspectives of every team member. We offer a vibrant, international culture where innovation is encouraged.

• Mentorship: Work under the guidance of world-class environment artists who will help you refine your portfolio and professional skills.
• Cutting-Edge Tech: Get hands-on with proprietary tools that push the limits of real-time rendering.
• Inclusive Culture: We are an equal opportunity employer committed to creating an inclusive environment where all employees feel empowered to do their best work.
• Studio Life: Located in the heart of Amsterdam, our studio offers a collaborative atmosphere, daily lunches, and a community of passionate developers.
