Sega announced the company will be holding a career event on October 18 and 19, 2024 and it’s hiring for the Sonic series. Though the promotional art for the event features Sonic X Shadow Generations, it’s highly unlikely that anyone it hires from this will be working on that, since the game comes out on October 25, 2024.
The event will be online via Zoom or Microsoft Teams, and it’s aimed at game designers and programmers. If you want to participate, you’ll need to apply from here. You’ll be earning between 4 to 13 million JPY per year, and Sega is looking for both contract and full-time employees. As for the requirements, there are only three: you need to love the Sonic series, you need to have passion for making games, and you need to want to work on games that’ll reach a global market.
The schedule of the online meeting is on the website as well. There will be 45 minutes of explanation about what Sega is as a company and what the position entails. Then, there will be 10 minutes for questions. Finally, there will be some casual interviews for 30 minutes. If you want to participate in the casual interview, then you’ll need to submit documents. Depending on how many people want to have the interview right then and there, it may boil down to a lottery system for time reasons.
Sonic X Shadow Generations will come out on October 25, 2024 for the PS4, PS5, Nintendo Switch, Xbox Series X, Xbox One, and Windows PC.
