Avalanche Studios New York, the developers behind massive open world titles such as Just Cause 3, are apparently hiring for a brand new AAA project, which is being described as “the largest and greatest AAA project we’ve ever taken on”. It’s bold words coming from the developer who created Just Cause. How much bigger than that can you get?
The job listings, which were spotted by the Twitter user @MauroNL3, hint towards the creation of another open-world game, with the developers looking for a Senior World Designer who can really help tie all the unique biomes together. Avalanche are also looking for a Gameplay Animation Programmer, who will “push animation quality a lot further than we have done previously and this will require us to take our animation technology to the bleeding edge”. There we go, people. They’re working on an open world sequel to Bleeding Edge. Confirmed.
Joking aside, it’s not clear whether this will be a sequel to a current property or a brand new IP, but the Senior World Designer role specifically mentions Rage 2 and Just Cause as reference points for the style of work the role will entail. Either way, the project seems to be early in development, considering the roles they’re looking to fill. I’m just hopeful that the project includes the recently opened Liverpool branch, but perhaps that’s the half-Scouser in me talking.
