Recently, Atlus has promoted the hiring of a Assistant Technical Artist for part-time work. This may not seem significant at first until diving deeper into requirements for the position. The job listing is from Atlus’ Persona Studio (P-Studio) and requires interest in Unreal Engine 4 development. For Atlus, Shin Megami Tensei V’s development marks the first use of Unreal Engine 4 in the company. Here are more details about job requirements, courtesy of Persona Central:

According to SMT V Producer Kazuyuki Yamai, the use of Unreal Engine 4 streamlined development greatly.
