While Darksiders II is set for release next month, it seems developer Vigil Games is already planning their next game. What's more, it seems that it will be a First-Person Shooter!
According to the studio's official site, Vigil is looking a Senior Gameplay Programmer and a few of the qualifications include:
- Has previously held a senior programming position on at least one shipped AAA console or PC title (preferably an FPS)
- An avid FPS gamer with strong interest in pushing the genre forward creatively
In addition to this, and to further drive home the point that — yes, they're making an FPS — the job also lists the things below as "pluses."
- Prior experience working on an FPS title
- Deep knowledge (professionally or as a gamer) of FPS mechanics and gameplay
Aside from this, no other details can be gleamed. Of course, this doesn't mean that Vigil's not going to be working on more Darksiders games, it's just that they're making an FPS next. Unless, y'know, Darksiders III is an FPS.
I'm assuming that since the game is in the hiring stages that this will be a next-gen offering from the studio. If so, let's hope they can think of ways to innovate the genre, no?
Thanks, NeoGAF
