Seeing the talent, Larian Studio opened in Warsaw
When discussing why Warsaw was chosen as a major hub for independent developers, CEO Sven Vincke recalled his visit to the Games Industry Conference in 2023.
“Visiting GIC last year confirmed what I’d been thinking for some time – there’s a lot of talent here and a lot of developers who think like us.
“Plus, many of them want to work on RPGs, so it’s a match made in heaven.
“Our plan for the Polish studio is very simple. Build a team that can work on two of our – very ambitious – new RPGs and enjoy the fruits of your labor. We’re a very bottom-up company so I’m looking forward to seeing what new things they bring to us. I think it will work really well.”
The company has grown rapidly since the announcement, adding numerous job listings to the database. These include vacancies for Writer, RPG Designer, Engine Programmer, Graphics Programmer, Producer, QA Lead, Gameplay Scripter and Tools Programmer.
They even have an open application listed on the board, as they write that they will “accept open applications” from people who don’t see a role listed that fits their skills or needs.
