Unreal Engine Developer - Arena Mode for AAA RTS Project

We’re expanding our team to build the next great ARENA mode for our AAA real-time strategy game — featuring fast-paced 1v1, 2v2, and 3v3 battles between mages, archers, shooters, monsters, and more.
This mode will serve as a high-quality vertical slice launching this Christmas, showcasing intense small-scale combat in cinematic Unreal Engine 5 visuals.

🧩 What We’re Building

A brand-new Arena Combat Mode, developed in parallel with our main RTS game — built from scratch but integrated with existing systems.

The playable vertical slice will include:

• ⚔️ 1v1 and 2v2 arena combat
• 🧙 Playable mages, archers, shooters, monsters, and melee heroes
• 🌍 Compact, detailed arenas inspired by our RTS world
• 🎬 Cinematic visuals, dynamic effects, and fluid animation systems
• 🎯 High-end Unreal Engine 5 assets & combat effects

• Experience integrating with existing frameworks and optimizing for performance
