Who We Are:

Hangar 13 is an internal 2K development studio based in four locations: Novato (California), Brighton (UK), and Brno & Prague (Czech Republic), working collaboratively as one team.

Each of our locations provides the opportunity to Bravely Create on big-budget, AAA console titles in a diverse and inclusive environment.

At Hangar 13, we want people driven by curiosity — Visionaries who aren't afraid to explore new territory. Intrepid individuals who embrace the weird, the challenging, the unconventional.

We're continuing to build a space that empowers you to take risks and redefine what's possible, where your inquisitive nature is nourished — a home for people who aren't satisfied with what is, but who are obsessed by what could be. And together, we'll Bravely Create.
