Forums - Sony - Sony Santa Monica Hiring for “Critical Project” and “Unannounced Title”

Many have been wondering what Sony Santa Monica has been up to, especially considering that no official game for the PS4 has been announced yet. Looks like the gears are grinding in sunny California, as the company is hiring for a couple position that reveal an upcoming unannounced game (or games) and apparently one of “critical” importance for the studio.

The first position is for a Lead Concept Artist that will “take the reins of the visual development of a critical project from early stage exploration through to final release.” Considering that he’ll be required to follow the title from early stage exploration, it’s safe to assume that we’re talking about a yet unannounced project.

The second position is for a Senior Level Designer for an “unannounced title”. Even here we’re talking about someone required to  handle “Level design from concept to implementation to shippable completion”, so it’s most probable that the project is in its earliest stages of development.

Below you can see a couple screencaps of the two job offerings (since Sony’s Career page doesn’t allow linking, for some reason). Are the two position for the same project or for two separate ones? and what will it (they?) be? We’ll have to wait and see about that, but something is boiling in the cauldron.

I hope it's not another GoW. They do amazing work and I would love to see something new from them.



As long as it has nudity, like God of War, I'll be happy..

Well this team is lead by the GOW2 guy so it's practically confirmed to not be GOW related.

SSM has the GOWA team who just finished that game and are doing DLC, Stig's team who have been working since GOW3 on a new ip, and as of recently they are forming this third team for what looks like an uber project. The lead writer from Bethesda just joined this team I believe.



Lead writer from Bethesda joining actual competent programmers? Sounds promising.

God of war needs a reboot like now and the type of reboot I mean is something on the lines of tomb raider.
