For more than 15 years Deep Silver FISHLABS has been creating compelling games that have been brought to life on millions of screens across the globe. We joined the Deep Silver / Koch Media family in late 2013 and, since then, we have continuously raised the quality bar. Today, we are one of three internal development studios run by our parent company, alongside Deep Silver Volition in the US and Deep Silver Dambuster Studio in the UK.
We specialize in high-end 3D games for consoles and PC. With a strong development history and award-winning portfolio of mobile games; such as blockbuster space-action shooter Galaxy on Fire: Manticore and the tactical zombie brawler Dead Island: Survivors; we are currently developing thrilling titles for the PS4, Xbox One, PC and Nintendo Switch.
YOUR CREW
You will be part of a highly talented team that works together with our sister studio DS Dambuster on one of Deep Silver’s top IPs. To us, the team is the star and we embrace flat hierarchies with a culture of cooperation and open feedback. Since the team is small you can assume ownership in your area of expertise and enjoy creative freedom.
Everyone at DS Fishlabs shares one common goal: to create a great experience on consoles and PC.
Join a relaxed environment where team members have the time to learn from each other, and everyone plays an important role in the development of our upcoming state of the art games.
And of course, if you come from abroad, you will benefit from our relocation support.
