Sharkmob is a Swedish game developer founded in 2017. We create AAA-quality games for PC and console, using the Unreal Engine to power our ambitions of taking multiplayer games to new heights. We are currently developing Exoborne, our first original IP. In 2022, we released Bloodhunt, a battle royale set in the Vampire: The Masquerade universe.

At Sharkmob, we believe great games are created by diverse teams with different perspectives, backgrounds, and experiences. We are committed to building an inclusive and collaborative workplace where creativity can thrive. Our culture is built around shared ownership, a passion for creating great games, and, just as importantly, having fun along the way.

We’d love for you to join us on our journey and become part of our crew. To learn more about Sharkmob, our projects, and the perks of being a crew member, visit our homepage.
