Dexerto is looking for a talented full-time US-based writer who can work remotely from home, reporting on news for Call of Duty, Overwatch, and other shooter games.
You should be a skilled writer and passionate player of FPS games, as well as being able to source and write compelling stories that will appeal to a broad audience. Daily coverage will include Apex Legends, Warzone, Overwatch, Counter-Strike, and more.
Knowledge of other game genres is an advantage. Ideally, you would have a good awareness of all AAA launches coming up on the calendar and be able to cover them competently.
You need to have a strong grasp on the history of FPS games to be successful in this role, and knowledge of the esports associated with shooter games would be desirable (although not essential). Ideally, you’ll have written about a game like Call of Duty for a publication before with published bylines to show us as samples.
The ability to write about a few other games and/or esports would be advantageous.
Some knowledge of SEO and social media is also desirable – as well as writing for Dexerto.com, you may have to publish some of your work on socials.
