Behaviour Interactive zoekt senior technical animator voor onaangekondigde sci-fi shooter in Unreal Engine

The Canadian studio is best known for Dead by Daylight. The same source also mentions Exterminauts as another upcoming Behaviour project, though the available text is cut off.

What happened

Eurogamer reported, based on a job listing, that Behaviour Interactive is hiring for an unannounced triple-A sci-fi first-person shooter. The role is for a senior technical animator, and the game is said to be built in Unreal Engine. That not only confirms the project exists, but also shows the studio is looking for specialized animation expertise for a production with high technical and visual ambitions.

The listing does not mention a title, platforms, or a release date. It does say the project has a "high realism bar," which points to a high level of visual and technical polish. The wording suggests Behaviour is aiming for a realistic presentation within a science-fiction setting, but the listing offers no further details about the setting, gameplay, or story.

Behaviour Interactive is a Canadian studio best known for Dead by Daylight. The studio has also worked on projects such as Serious Sam: Shatterverse, Monopoly: Star Wars Heroes vs. Villains, and Worms Across Worlds, and released Meet Your Maker in 2023. That makes the job listing especially notable, as it shows Behaviour is once again working across genres beyond asymmetrical multiplayer.

According to the source, Meet Your Maker later moved into maintenance mode after the game did not perform strongly enough commercially for long-term support. In the same context, Exterminauts is also mentioned as another upcoming Behaviour project, described as a three-player co-op PvE shooter. However, the available text is cut off, so it is unclear whether this is a fully revealed project or just a partial reference within the same source.

Background

Behaviour Interactive is based in Canada and is best known for Dead by Daylight. The studio also has experience with external projects and original releases, including Meet Your Maker in 2023. The mix of a major live-service hit and smaller or more experimental projects shows that Behaviour maintains multiple product lines at once.

The job listing provides the first concrete production details about a new project from the studio. It is confirmed to be a triple-A sci-fi shooter in Unreal Engine, but the source does not mention a franchise, platforms, or a release window. It is also not known whether this is a new IP or a project tied to an existing license. The only hard clues about the game itself are the need for a senior technical animator and the mention of a "high realism bar."

The reference to Exterminauts makes it clear that Behaviour has more than one upcoming project. The source describes Exterminauts as a three-player co-op PvE shooter, but because the text is cut off, there is no further context on its official status, development setup, or how publicly it has been revealed. That leaves the new sci-fi shooter from the job listing as the most concrete part of the report.

For now, the main takeaway is that Behaviour Interactive is working on another shooter that appears to be aiming higher in presentation than a standard genre release. The listing confirms the technical foundation, the engine, and the intended realism, but leaves all strategic details open. Until the studio makes an official announcement, the project remains limited to what can be inferred from the job listing and Eurogamer’s report.
