The power of audiovisual expression in video games took a dramatic leap forward with the arrival of the PlayStation 3 and Xbox 360. Gamers are being treated to gaming experiences with unprecedented realism and power. In the not-so-distant future, video game visuals will equal or surpass the quality of those in feature films, requiring even more advanced game development pipelines.

This means that companies without efficient and high-quality development pipelines will not survive in the video game industry. In the coming years, game production will require vast improvements in quality and a huge increase in the number of required assets. Keeping escalating costs in check will require not a refinement, but rather a reinvention of the game development pipeline. While anticipating the arrival of next-generation platforms, Square Enix has begun development on a next-generation game engine to rank with the industry’s finest, and are actively seeking top industry talent. We promise you a rewarding and challenging experience as you put your top-level abilities to the test as we create a world-class game engine. We look forward to hearing from you.
