As a Gameplay UX Designer at Ubisoft, you'll be the glue that binds game design, UI, sound, VFX, and other feedback channels to create a seamless and engaging experience. You’ll make sure content is communicated clearly and navigation flows intuitively, so that players can fully immerse themselves in gameplay. Throughout the user-centric development process, you’ll focus on the game as a whole while considering the impact of every design choice. As a creative problem-solver, you’ll come up with solutions to prevent any (frustrating) discontinuity in the player experience. You’ll smooth out any unwanted friction that stands between our players and the enjoyment they are – and should always be – having.
