A job posting by Dead Space developer Visceral Games has confirmed that the studio is working on a new IP, a “thrilling online action shooter game” which will be the “cornerstone for a new EA Games Studio.” The ad is looking for a lead multiplayer designer, who will design maps and mentor other designers at the new studio.
The last multiplayer based title that Visceral Studios worked on was Dead Space 2. While the multiplayer in that was decent, it was by no means ground breaking. It is also rumored Visceral Games is developing the next Dead Space game, a second Dante’s Inferno and a Dead Space FPS title
