Welcome Message | ZeniMax Online Offices
Thanks and welcome to ZeniMax Online Studios. This is my chance to tell you a bit about how ZeniMax Online came to be, and why we’re here.
I was one of the founders of Mythic Entertainment, and have been in the multiplayer game development business a long time – the first commercial game I worked on was in 1988. After producing Dark Age of Camelot and its early expansions, I left Mythic in 2006.
I’ve been given this tremendous opportunity to start an online game development studio by ZeniMax Media, the company that also owns Bethesda Softworks. ZeniMax Media is a great company in its own right, with literally an all-star board of directors, and Bethesda Softworks’ stellar reputation in the industry is well deserved and rock-solid. Bethesda has enjoyed incredible success with The Elder Scrolls series and Fallout 3.
I knew that Hunt Valley would make a great location for an online gaming company, as it has a lot of talent already in the area at other studios, and had a great, easy pace of life - almost an "out in the country" feel. We have a great new office, full of energy, yet with a quiet peaceful feel - one that is very good for making games.
We’ve built the team from the ground up to be dedicated and experienced, and have put a lot of emphasis on ensuring that everyone we hire be the right person for the job. It is very important to me that the team be cohesive and well-integrated. The better the team works together, the better the game they can produce.
We are committed to the idea that if you want to make a great MMOG, you have to “go big or go home”. It’s a tough, competitive market out there right now for MMOGs. We plan to make a big impact - and we're poised to do just that.
But, we can't do this without a strong team. If you're hardworking, game-loving, experienced, passionate, and know you can contribute to a large-scale MMOG, then let us know. Check out the jobs page and drop us a note explaining how you can help us. We'd love to hear from you.
