Epic Games hiring spree hints that Fortnite 2 may be on the way
The positions include a concept artist who will be tasked with creating "alternative skin designs for approved hero characters."
The listing describes a candidate who can design "sleek, detailed, modern, forward-looking characters".
Meanwhile, an Experience Design Lead will join the Fortnite team to design “event and brand experiences” and help “shape the Fortnite ecosystem for the future.”
Interestingly, Epic is also looking for a Product Marketing Director for Metaverse Development.
Fortnite is essentially a Metaverse experience, experimenting with events and social aspects before everyone else jumps on the bandwagon.
“This is an important leadership role that will begin a new function within the Metaverse development team,” the listing reads.
This includes "creating, launching, and scaling products such as Fortnite Creative, Support-a-Creator, and new monetization tools."
The successful applicant will "develop and manage a style-defining product marketing team in the emerging field of Metaverse development."
