Nine Worlds Studios is a new video game development studio under the roof of Kalypso Media Group. Our experienced founding team is based in Munich, Germany, where we work on internationally acclaimed IPs, and create fresh and innovative titles for consoles and PC. Currently, we are working on the next installment of the beloved strategy series Tropico and we are looking for developers with passion, team spirit and who work to a high standard to create remarkable games for players worldwide.

We know that Tech-Art covers a wide area, so we don’t expect you to be an expert in all skills listed below. If you have a specialization, are passionate about what you do, like to learn new things, and want to work with a team of professionals, most of which worked together for a long time already, we are happy to receive your application!

At Nine Worlds Studios, we always strive towards getting things done together in an environment where everybody is actively contributing where they can. We trust and respect each other and are open for feedback and improvement. We love creating games and seeing our game improve week by week. We like structured workflows but add a pinch of creative chaos when we need it. A few lines cannot completely summarize our company culture, so we are looking forward to share more of our mentality with you during the application process.

As a member, you will work closely with the whole team and have a significant impact on our projects.
