In a month the place we noticed a number of gaming and tech firms kick staff to the curb, we’re going to supply a puff of contemporary oxygen because of ArenaNet, which is sharing some new job postings for Guild Wars 2 and its mysterious “unannounced undertaking.”
Many of the job postings are for this undertaking, together with VFX artists, a lead character artist, and a senior manufacturing director. It’s that final job publish that may perk a number of ears, because it lists duties like making a launch product for a number of platforms, managing an “efficient launch, hot-fix and patching cadence,” and creation of “long-term, large-scale undertaking schedules,” although whether or not this implies a brand new MMO or simply one other dwell service title is anybody’s guess.
Readers might recall that ArenaNet having a number of irons within the hearth isn’t essentially information, because it has employed for a UE4 title, a cellular title, a console title, and this different unannounced title a few totally different occasions. Clearly it’s unclear whether or not any of those initiatives are one and the identical, however regardless we’ll take a hiring win proper now.
We’re hiring for a variety of roles on Guild Wars 2 and my present (Unannounced) undertaking.
We help a totally distant office in a variety of states for many roles.https://t.co/F655UUe9y9
