A job listing from G3D’s founder, Sandor Roberts, indicates that the Redmond corporation may be working on a title akin to the popular PlayStation 4-exclusive game. The listing is from two months ago.
When Horizon Zero Dawn launched back in late February, it was one of the most-anticipated games of the year but, being a PS4-exclusive, PC and Xbox gamers were left out. Naturally, expectations were unusually high when Xbox officials claimed to have « a big show » at E3 this year. They were expected to unveil the Xbox One X, née Project Scorpio, with an unannounced AAA title but, that did not happen either. Now, a job listing by a specialist recruiting firm, G3D has indicated that Microsoft may actually be working on an HZD-like title, after all.
The ad which states that the company is looking for a « Lead Environment Artist » for its next AAA title mentions the style of the unannounced game as « similar to Horizon Zero Dawn » and is about two months old. While team Xbox played it safe this year with its first-party titles, there has been murmurs of new games to be announced at the Gamescom this year, where Xbox will be holding a press conference, unlike last year.
Xbox head, Phil Spencer also indicated that the E3 lineup was just the beginning:
This is in keeping with the statements by the Xbox chief post the E3 conference. The company must be taking utmost caution as it wouldn’t want a sequel to the « Scalebound » incident.
