Avalanche Studios Group

Time flies when you’re blowing sh*t up! It’s been TWO DECADES since Avalanche Studios was founded, so we’ll be celebrating throughout 2023. Keep your peepers peeled for behind-the-scenes exclusives, truly unique giveaways – and a few surprises! Here’s to the next 20! 🍻

ICYMI: The Sundarpatan Nepal Hunting Reserve is out now! 🇳🇵⛰️ Hunters can reach epic new heights by exploring the tallest of mountains while uncovering incredible new wildlife. Try not to get too close, though; some may just hunt you back. https://lnkd.in/dvfWXq5R

Making great games starts with great people – people across the character selection spectrum. In our ongoing effort to ensure better representation for women and other gender minorities in gaming spaces, we’re excited to support the Valkyrie Jam this year. 💪 The 10-day event in northern Sweden gathers folks from all over the industry to come together and game jam it up. We’re pretty sure they aren’t also training to become guides of souls to Valhalla, but you can never be too sure. Check out the website below to learn more, apply to participate, or support their work! 👇⚔️ www.valkyriejam.com

theHunter: Call of the Wild’s latest reserve has been announced to our players and we can’t tell who’s more excited: them to jump in, or us to see their reactions! We’re flying our community of hunters to the vast expanses of Sundarpatan Nepal Hunting Reserve. Here they can roam and hunt across a diverse range of biomes. Including the snow-covered, rough open ridges in the mountain region, the rhododendron forests of the mid-hills, and the overgrown sal forests that bask in the tropical climate of the lowlands. With new environments to discover, new animals to uncover, and missions revolving around conservation, agriculture, and photography, we can’t wait for players to pounce in! avlche.com/THNPAnnounce

What do you do when a local comic school wants you to contribute to their annual comic book? You have Animator Moa Bergman and Experienced Animator (and former pro comic artist) Catarina Batista team up, of course!

Are you attending the Nordic Game conference next week? If so, don’t forget to make a space in your busy schedule to watch our very own Chief Publishing Officer, Emma Farrow, in a panel focusing on how to make great games without breaking the development piggy bank. 🐖💰 With a constant demand for bigger and better gaming experiences, balancing player expectations while maintaining an affordable and happy development process is a more valuable skill than ever. Emma’s 11 years of experience and background in publishing, partnerships, and operations will make this a panel you won’t want to miss! We’ll see you there!

An enormous thank you to The Game Assembly for having us at their Meet and Greet event last week. ⭐ We met so many talented students! Folks who are almost as excited about getting into the industry as we are to have them. If you’re looking to kickstart your own career in gaming, you can (virtually) greet our recruitment team over on our career site! 👇 avlche.com/WWU

Last week we announced we’re looking to enter a collective bargaining agreement (CBA) with Swedish labor unions. As perfectly worded by our CEO, Stefanía Guðrún Halldórsdóttir, “Over the past years, we’ve taken significant steps toward making Avalanche one of the best workplaces in the games industry. Our inclusive, warm, and welcoming culture, sound work-life balance, profit sharing, and parental leave policy – just to name a few – are a testament to that. These are all things that set us apart and allow us to focus on making great games. We hope that signing a CBA will be yet another step in that same direction.” Read more about this journey over on our site. 👇 https://avlche.com/CBA

Some snaps from Avalanchers enjoying their Just Pause Day 2024. 🧘 Just Pause is an annual tradition at Avalanche. Everyone gets an extra (fully paid) day off to, well, just pause. A day to reflect, catch up on housework, and perhaps even venture into the local woods (never to be seen again). What would you do with an extra day off? Perhaps you’d use the extra hours to put in an application to our careers site? Well, we’ve saved you some time and have the link ready for you right here. 👇 avlche.com/WWU
