It's for positions of translating and Q&A bug reporting for Psycho Break 2, aka Evil Within 2.

It being in production wouldn't be too surprising, Bethesda seems to list it as one of their big IPs and Tango Gameworks have said they wanted Evil Within to be a franchise, not a single game. It did well enough, holding the spot of top selling new horror IP until Dying Light a couple months later (though trumping the previous holder, Dead Space). And they've been working on their new game for at least the last couple years.

Though going by job listings from a year or two ago, if this is related to those then there are some interesting things that may be at play here. They were looking specifically for people familiar with the Unreal engine and with experience in multiplayer fields, though if that'd be for TEW2 or something else is unknown of course.

Regardless, Tango Gameworks newest title has a high chance of being revealed this year as it's been in production for about two years now. If The Evil Within 2 / Psycho Break 2 was what they were working on, what would you want from a sequel?
