Arkane Lyon – the studio answerable for a lot of Dishonored 2 – appears to be hiring to develop the monetisation of its upcoming tasks. A latest job posting (through resetera) for a monetization designer on the French studio would see the profitable candidate working with a number of groups “to manage the monetization features” of its upcoming games.
The obligations featured within the itemizing would see a profitable candidate “developing and managing the economy/monetization components” of a game, “designing game features that monetize and re-engage players in a consumer-friendly way,” and “driving initiatives for monetizing the customer base.”
The posting may not be too stunning inside the wider trade, however it does mark a part of a big change in Arkane Lyon’s technique. Until October, sister studio Arkane Austin had been explicitly hiring for multiplayer tasks , however that modified when Arkane Lyon began hiring QA testers with “experience in […] GAaS [games as a service].” Many of father or mother firm Zenimax’s different inner studios – together with Bethesda, id Software, and MachineGames – have been making a higher push in the direction of multiplayer lately.
Beyond the concept that a brand new game would come with higher monetisation, and push in the direction of Games as a Service territory, there’s little or no info as to what the studio’s subsequent venture is perhaps inside that job itemizing. It’s unlikely to be a new Dishonored game, and a Prey sequel can also be more likely to fall foul of the push in the direction of service games.

Either method, we’re unlikely to search out out something concrete for some time but. It’s attainable we’ll get an early glimpse at a brand new venture over the summer season, however that may nonetheless be a fairly fast turnaround after a slew of 2017 releases from Arkane.
