Creative Assembly are hiring for what an insider at their studio tells us is “the biggest multiformat project Creative Assembly has ever undertaken.” The mission is a brand new IP being developed by the crew behind Alien: Isolation and Halo Wars 2.
Job advertisements for the brand new mission appeared on the studio’s careers page yesterday. They do not reveal a lot however we are able to glean a number of issues in regards to the new IP from the positions Creative Assembly are hiring for – a senior meta recreation designer, lead methods designer, and a lead technical artist.
Creative Assembly need the meta recreation designer to create the framework for the sport ”economic system, development and retention strategies, leaderboards, challenges, world constructing and occasions.” Strongly suggesting the mission is a service recreation with multiplayer.
The job description for the methods designer refers to “weapons, movement, abilities, gadgets, health and other underlying gameplay systems.” Which aren’t precisely distinctive to a specific style, however to my thoughts skills lend themselves to video games which are extra RPG-based in nature.
We can’t be taught a lot from the technical artist’s job spec, until you discover “Practical experience and a strong comprehension of PBR (physical-based rendering)” notably revealing. It does, nevertheless, point out needing to speak concepts and methods to “3rd parties and stakeholders.” Which might counsel Creative are working with a accomplice on this mission, as they did with 343 Industries on Halo Wars 2.
Expect extra to be revealed within the coming months.
