Xbox Game Studios Developer is Working on a Secretive Next-Gen First-Person RPG
✖
Xbox Game Studios and its many developers are working on a variety of projects right now, some of which we know about and others that are still being kept secret. When it comes to one of these games that are still being kept under wraps, new information has now surfaced that might give us a better idea of what one studio is working on.
Inxile Entertainment, which is one of the newer additions to the Xbox Game Studios lineup, has recently disclosed some initial details of one of its forthcoming games in a handful of new job listings. The studio is currently looking to hire a Lead Gameplay Engineer with the role’s description mentioning that the project will feature first-person shooting gameplay. The job also mentions that much like Inxile has been known for in the past, this game will also be of the RPG variety. Other job posts talk about how this next-gen project is also looking to add people fa
InXile has primarily been known for its high quality isometric RPGs over the years, particularly with Wasteland 2 and more recently, Wasteland 3. Looking ahead though, InXile will be trying its hand at first-person RPGs with one of its next projects.
Since being acquired by Microsoft, InXile has been staffing up and planning new games. We already know that two RPGs are on the way, one of which is in pre-production, as stated by CEO, Brian Fargo. Thanks to recent job listings, we now have a small idea of what to expect from InXile’s next big game.
The job listing, spotted by Twisted Voxel, is for a Lead Gameplay Engineer and the description specifically notes that the person in this role will work on a “next-generation action RPG” with “first-person shooter gameplay features”. Another job listing for a Senior Gameplay Designer calls for someone with knowledge of “moment-to-moment gameplay loops of first-person shooters and RPGs”.
