I'm Tom Knights, a game writer and designer. I currently work as a Senior Narrative Designer at Ubisoft Reflections in Newcastle, UK.
With thirteen years experience as a writer and designer in the games industry, I've worked on a range of projects from mobile, to VR, to AAA console titles, and have been responsible for conception, pitching, character design, scriptwriting, mission & quest design, level design, narrative support for other developers, web content, and much more.
Some of the projects that I've worked on (or in some cases, my contribution to them), have also received additional acclaim. I appeared in Develop Magazine's annual '30 Under 30' feature in 2012 for my writing work, while Dawn of Titans was nominated for the BAFTA for best mobile game in 2017. At Ubisoft, The Division 2 was nominated for multiple awards throughout 2018 and 2019 by Develop, BAFTA, the Game Critic Awards, Gamer's Choice Awards, and more.
My most recent project, Assassin's Creed: Nexus VR, is due to be released on November 16th 2023.
Outside of my work in games, I've written a range of published short fiction, and I've given workshops, lectures, and masterclasses on writing and narrative design for games at Edinburgh Napier University, Playwrights Studio Scotland, Xpo North, and most recently, the Aesthetica Short Film Festival, to which I'll be returning in 2023.
