For 30 years, Rebellion have been creating incredible video games at multiple studios, but Rebellion is more than just games. They have their own film and mo-cap studio, and create board games, publish books, and through 2000AD, publish comics and graphic novels such as the amazing Judge Dredd.

They have studios based in Oxford, Warwick, Liverpool, and Wakefield. Work-life balance is important to them, and they want everyone at Rebellion to work in the way that works best for them. So, if you are based in the UK, they are always open to discussing how they can support remote and flexible working options.
