Cinematic Director (F/M/NB)
🎮 JOIN A STUDIO PUSHING THE BOUNDARIES OF INTERACTIVE STORYTELLING
Founded over 25 years ago, Quantic Dream is a video game creation studio renowned for its powerful, emotional, and ambitious narrative experiences. Since our inception, we have been driven by a single conviction: video games are an extraordinary medium for storytelling, evoking emotions, and challenging players.
Over the years, we have developed titles that have become benchmarks in narrative gaming, characterized by a strong artistic identity, exacting production standards, and a deep focus on the player experience. Every project is an opportunity for us to push our creative and technological boundaries while remaining true to our DNA.
Today, with teams based in Paris and Montreal, Quantic Dream brings together world-class talent—artists, developers, designers, and producers—working hand-in-hand on ambitious AAA projects.
Collectively, like links in a single chain, we don’t just make a game; we make THE game!
