At Improbable, we’re bringing together technology and games to create new opportunities and experiences. In order to achieve this, we need unique perspectives from diverse people, empowered to revolutionise how online games are made, delivered and paid for.
We believe one of the biggest, most impactful changes to the way we live our lives is going to come from the medium of games. Realising new communities, societies and vocations through virtual worlds is what drives our people and gives them purpose.
About Our Team
Improbable's UK Studio initially started within the company's London Headquarters but quickly broadened to locations in Cambridge and now China (Shanghai). We have 2 sister studios in Canada and the USA which work together with us to solve problems and share solutions.The studio was started by and based upon veteran staff from AAA studios (Epic, Infinity Ward, Guerrilla, DICE, Rockstar, EA...). We've gathered best practices from these great developers and are committing to enforcing them in order to maintain a sustainable work environment for live service games.We are focusing on building online action games, using the power of SpatialOS to create more interesting gameplay with more people playing together than previously possible.
