Who We Are

Wargaming UK is a fresh new branch of the almighty Wargaming conglomerate, home to a great deal of passion and love for video games. Our team is rich with experience from all around the world, and the strive to deliver something the whole world can enjoy. It’s our purpose to ensure whilst you make history with us, you have the best possible time doing so.

The Hollywood of Video Games

There’s a plethora of history that comes with Guildford, not the least of which is its association with video games. A monumental hub of game developers, who often host various game jams, charity events, and regular pub meetups. Our office is located right in the heart of the town, and a short walk from the central train station.

Something for Everyone

Guildford is chock-full of activities and entertainment for all kinds of personalities - this includes the kind of booming night-life that’s expected from a University town, a state-of-the-art cinema, a bowling alley, an ice rink, dozens of pubs and restaurants, comedy clubs, luscious parks, a mini golf course, and much, much more.

Work Hard, Play Hard

Office culture is important to us - every single person at Wargaming UK is a hardworking and key member of the team, but letting your hair down once in a while is the secret to a happy work life. Our parties are legendary, from karaoke to rock climbing, we know how to have fun. And when we do work, we try to make sure you love coming in each day - sprint reviews in the cinema, day trips for artistic and creative inspiration, training courses and team building for personal growth, we take care of our own.

Professional Growth

If we recognise your passion and talent for something outside of your field, you can be sure we’ll put that to good use - no-one should dictate your future but you, so if you’re interested in exploring further avenues, providing it aligns with the company’s future, we’ll do our utmost to make sure that happens. We’ve had Game Designers, Community Managers, Localisation Managers, Production Assistants, Tool Programmers and more start their careers from entirely different roles.

Bursting with Experience

There’s a wealth of experience at Wargaming UK - from people who were creating games in the era of the early console generations, all the way to young and fresh talent ensuring everything is grounded and relevant to modern and future generations. People who have pioneered tons of AAA titles, all the way to passionate indie developers. If you’re looking for a diverse and experienced bunch, look no further.

  • Cyprus

Before the permanent move, I had the pleasure of working with the Guildford Studio for a few weeks. During this time, I fell in love with this beautiful town (it's like something from a fairy tale) and got to know the team and their culture. The easiest decision I ever made was leaving Cyprus in order to join the team in Guildford.

At Wargaming UK I am empowered, given clear goals, and have irritating obstacles removed so I can think, plan, dream and deliver. Wargaming saved my game making soul; I love that we make games that aim to be legendary and are then given the backing to make it happen. I love that the people who own Wargaming believe in games, gamers, game makers and the power of games that will last a lifetime.

Moving to Guildford was a very big change for me, but so far, it’s been one for the better. People in this town are very welcoming, there’s lots to do in the area, and it’s a conveniently quick train journey away from London.

Relocation FAQ

Guildford

  • General

    • What kind of benefits do Wargaming UK offer?

      Wargaming UK offers competitive benefits to all employees including Pension Plan, Healthcare Cover, Life Assurance, subsidised eye tests, and a subsidised Gym Membership.

    • How will you assist with my relocation?

      We will provide you contacts of reputable local estate agents, and as much information about Guildford and the surrounding areas as we can.

    • What is the quality of the schools in Guildford?

      Guildford and the surrounding areas have several quality state schools, rated “excellent” and “good” by the school watchdog. We can provide details upon request, so you can better choose where would most suit your family.

    • How is the cost of living?

      The cost of living in Guildford is similar to the cost of living in any town within commuting distance of London, and this is reflected in the price of accommodation.

    • Can I call for more info?

      Yes. Our office number is 01483 533733.
  • Brexit & Immigration

    • Will Brexit affect my transition to the UK?

      This will depend entirely on the date you move to the UK, and what kind of deal the government and the European Union come to agreement on.

    • If I move to the UK before the 29th of March 2019?

      If this is before the 29th of March 2019, you will be able to stay in the UK but will need to make an application for pre-settled or settled status. These applications are free (charged at £65 but the fee will be reimbursed) and the Home Office is accepting applications from most people now, with the scheme to go live for all on the 30th of March 2019. If a deal is agreed, you will need to apply before the 30th of June 2021, otherwise the deadline will be the 31st of December 2020.

    • If I move to the UK between the 30th of March 2019 and the 31st of December 2020?

      If this is between the 30th of March 2019 and the 31st of December 2020, this relies far more on whether the current proposed deal is accepted. If a deal is agreed, Europeans who enter before the 1st of January 2021 will be treated in the same way as those who were living in the UK before Brexit. You will need to make an application for pre-settled or settled status and will ultimately have a route to “Indefinite Leave to Remain”. If there’s no deal, the process is currently unclear, however further information should be provided in time.

    • If I move to the UK after the 1st of January 2021?

      If this is after the 1st of January 2021, a new immigration system will be in place, and will affect all migrants, whether EU or non-EU. The system will more than likely be very similar to the existing non-EU immigration system, but with some simplifications.
  • Fun & Leisure

    • What’s there to do for fun in Guildford?

      Guildford has a lot to offer in terms of entertainment: it’s the home of a state of the art cinema, ice rinks, bowling alleys, miniature golf, dozens of clubs, even more pubs, even more restaurants; it has its own castle, there are a number of escape rooms, comedy clubs, tons of shops to visit (including a mall), markets, festivals, and much, much more.

    • Are there facilities for physical exercise?

      Many! There are a number of gyms and local teams for a wide number of sports for you to partake, and if you simply enjoy jogging and fresh air, the River Wey is a perfect spot to do so.

    • What are the local transport facilities?

      Guildford is home to two train stations - the main station is situated west and is very diversely served (with connections to a vast number of lines, including 30 minutes to London Waterloo), whilst the other smaller station (London Road) is found North East, with a stopping service towards London Waterloo.

      You’ll also find a bus station located in the middle of the town, taxis as far as the eye can see (including Uber), and travellers can easily find their way to Gatwick Airport via a 40-minute train journey.
