Senior Data Analyst

About Relic Entertainment

We are an award-winning developer of genre-defining real-time strategy games like Homeworld, Dawn of War, Company of Heroes and many more. Throughout our storied 17-year history, delivering rich, thoughtful strategy games has always been our defining quality.

In essence, we envision the type of games that we would love to play, and then we create them.

Our studio is different from most others. We value ideas and innovation so every game we create is a true reflection of our entire teams’ capabilities. We believe in the autonomous, entrepreneurial spirit of an indie developer – only with the extensive resources of a large publisher.

We are owned by SEGA, a world leader in interactive entertainment. They provide us with the autonomy and creative control needed to preserve the integrity of the gaming experience, from the concept stage right through to final development. Being part of the SEGA family also gives us access to resources and talent that will help us build on our legacy of innovation.
