Lionhead is advertising vacancies for two new gigs at the UK-based studio, an animation director and an experienced core engine programmer.
According the descriptions, those hired for the roles will become “key contributor[s] on an unannounced title.”
The ideal candidate for the animation director job is somebody with AAA title experience, “including large scale RPG, Action Adventure and RTS genres.” Essential experience also includes “[d]emonstrated background working on new franchises or reimaginings of existing franchises” and “[p]roven ability to bring new ideas to new franchise whilst ensuring its heritage is respected.”
Knowledge of Unreal Engine 3 and/or 4 is desired, but not essential for the programmer position.
Several rumblings have suggested Lionhead is hard at work on a Fable MMO for the next generation Xbox. The rumours were strengthened by the recent appointment of former Cryptic Studios and Gazillion Entertainment CEO John Needham as studio boss.
Cryptic Studios is best known for City of Heroes and Champions Online and Gazillion Entertainment is currently working on the Marvel Heroes MMO.
Thanks OXM UK.
