Ubisoft has released a nine-part behind-the-scenes video series but it’s not about what they’re working on, it’s about who’s working on it. Thirty-nine team members were interviewed from across the company spectrum.
With Ubisoft dominating March video game sales with Tom Clancy’s The Division and Far Cry: Primal, this new series of interviews illustrates the joys and challenges of working on an award-winning team.
The series covers 9 facets of working at the company—consumer engagement, technical art, project management, online programming, marketing, level design, IT and gameplay programming.
“These videos aren’t meant to give you a peek at the next big Ubisoft game,” the developer explains on their blog. “Rather, they’re meant to put a face on Ubisoft employees and the work that they do to help make games a reality. You’re getting a three-minute sample of their lives and the challenges they face in a fast-paced industry that’s constantly changing. More importantly, you’ll see how working in a creative and collaborative environment produces solutions to the unique problems present in the gaming industry.”
While showing fans how much the company cares about them, Ubisoft also fosters excitement about what it would be like to work there. Although it’s not uncommon for an employer to create recruitment videos, creating an entire series that appeals to both fans and potential applicants is quite a feat.
