What Keywords Looks for in Your Portfolio

🌍 Environment Artists

Keywords' GameSim focuses on military simulation and serious games. Show realistic, detailed outdoor environments with emphasis on modular terrain, foliage, and structures. UE5 experience and military/realistic visual style will stand out.

✨ VFX Artists

Simulation-accurate VFX is valued at GameSim. Show real-time particle systems, physics-based effects, and environmental storytelling through VFX. Niagara (UE5) and Houdini for baked simulations both relevant.

⚙️ Technical Artists (d3t)

d3t specializes in porting and co-development for AAA games. Their TAs need cross-platform experience. Show shader optimization, render pipeline knowledge, and engine-agnostic problem solving. Unity and Unreal both relevant.

🎬 Trailer Capture Artists

Keywords' capture work involves in-engine cinematography and game trailer production. Show your ability to use in-engine camera tools, lighting setups, and post-processing to create compelling game footage. Editing skills are a plus.

Keywords Studios Art Jobs — FAQ

What does Keywords Studios do?

Keywords Studios provides game development services including art creation, engineering, QA testing, localization, and player support to major AAA publishers like Activision, EA, Ubisoft, and 2K.

Is Keywords Studios a good place to work as a game artist?

Does Keywords Studios hire for remote roles?

Some Keywords talent pipeline listings are remote-eligible. d3t UK roles are typically hybrid. Confirm remote policy directly with the subsidiary you are applying to.
