Modern Warfare 3 dev hiring for next-gen first-person shooter – Video Game News
Infinity Ward, the studio behind the Call of Duty: Modern Warfare series, is hiring for a title set to be release on the Xbox 720 and PlayStation 4. The studio will prefer candidates who have an interest in first-person shooters. The Modern Warfare series has gone on to become a part of popular culture and is currently the best-selling franchise in video game history.
With each title breaking the previous game’s record the game’s publisher, Activision, had no problem in awarding the studio a total of $500-million in bonuses over the past five years. However, it seems that despite the fact that Treyarch is set to release their sequel to the second best-selling video game title of all time, Infinity Ward are already preparing for their debut on the next generation of home consoles.
According to the job offer, Infinity Ward is on the lookout for a senior network engineer to work on the upcoming, as yet unannounced game. The ad read, “Come work with the game industry’s brightest to design and implement high level network code for an exciting unannounced title for the next generation console systems.”
Apart from that there was no hint as to what the game could be in terms of genre. That is because the ad went on to pretty much give away what the genre the game was. The ad continued that candidates who planned on applying for the job should have an “interest in games, preferably first-person shooters.”
It seems that Infinity Ward is going with the, ‘if it ain’t broke, don’t fix it’ approach and one can expect pretty much the same game repacked with a bit more polish and released on next generation consoles.
However, one other indicator that comes to attention is the fact that the game is set to release around November next year, which is when it will be Infinity Ward’s turn in to release their game; so one can expect the next generation of consoles to have hit shelves by then. Either that or Infinity Ward really do believe in the early bird catching the worm ideology.
