Gotham Knights has landed on the gaming market for a few weeks, but there is talk of a new project that would directly involve Warner Bros. Montreal, the same production house whose name is behind the aforementioned superhero experience and beyond. New rumors have emerged about the new project, but what happened?
This declaration was launched by Warner Bros. Discovery itself, the well-known company in the digital entertainment landscape that it is looking for a new professional figure for Warner Bros. Games Montreal. In detail, what we can deduce from the job request published on the Warner Bros. Montreal website involves the search for a Senior Concept Artist, whose task will be to devote himself to the creation of a wide range of digital content. Starting from the characters, continuing to the design of weapons, equipment upgrades, etc. The Senior Concept Artist’s duties will be broad and varied, working closely with the Character Artists and Lead Character Artists.
The job application is not limited to finding a Senior Concept Artist: in fact, WB is also looking for a “job responsibilities”, i.e. a professional figure who is able to understand the creative vision of the project and who, in addition to his contribution to the artistic creation in a broad sense, helps the team with the creation of concept art and also on the communication front. Such an application requires numerous previous experience requirements, starting with a minimum of five years experience developing at least a AAA and a long range of skills in the arts and beyond. Below all the knowledge and skills required by Warner Bros. Montreal for the job in question:
Excellent artistic sense Advanced proficiency in Photoshop Ability to work with a wide variety of styles and genres. Strong background in traditional art skills Knowledge of art history and contemporary culture Some familiarity with 3D art and the combination of 2D and 3D techniques (eg zbrush) is an asset. Fashion awareness, including balancing proportions, shapes and materials. An excellent knowledge of human anatomy and proportions is a plus for the room concept artist. Strong communication and collaboration skills. Self-motivation that benefits the work environment
The search for these two professional figures is based on the recent news of the LinkedIn profile of a senior artist where he claimed to be working on a project not yet announced. He, in his Curriculum Vitae, claimed to have co-designed features, the core of the gameplay and its fundamental pillars, as well as having co-founded the project with the creative director. So, while Warner Bros releases Gotham Knights patch 1.03, there is a lot of interesting news coming from behind the scenes of videogame development.
Beyond the success of the aforementioned superhero-themed production, which we also talked about in the article dedicated to why Batman Arkham is the best superhero video game, Warner Bros continues to release and produce lots of new content and productions, such as the almost imminent Hogwarts Legacy developed by Avalanche Software and beyond, without missing the development of unpublished titles.
