Creative Assembly hiring for a new IP, "the biggest multiplatform project of our history"

[KoolAid]

Job ads for the new project appeared on the studio's careers page yesterday. They don't reveal much but we can glean a few things about the new IP from the positions Creative Assembly are hiring for - a senior meta game designer, lead systems designer, and a lead technical artist.

Creative Assembly want the meta game designer to create the framework for the game "economy, progression and retention methods, leaderboards, challenges, world building and events." Strongly suggesting the project is a service game with multiplayer.

The job description for the systems designer refers to "weapons, movement, abilities, gadgets, health and other underlying gameplay systems." Which aren't exactly unique to a particular genre, but to my mind abilities lend themselves to games that are more RPG-based in nature.

I guess they might be done working on MS published games too?

Can't wait to see what this is, good to see they're expanding.

 

[ashtaar]

Hmm they make RTS games and that one alien game, if I were to hard a guess im thinking shared world action RPG, think the Witcher or kingdom of amular but with player controlled gangs

Spoiler

this is based off nothing

unless they get another game deal from MS, of course. but after Halo Wars 2, I doubt MS will pursuit more games in that genre

Alien Isolation 2

Could also mean W10, Xbox

 

[Lynchian Anomaly]

Aliens Isolations please!

Or The Thing: Isolation or Jurassic Park: Isolation!

Sounds suspiciously GaaSy, but I loved alien isolation so I'm looking forward.

You read my mind.

 

[Truant]

Calling it now:

Shared-word survival horror rpg set in the Alien universe.

 

[Aniki]

A new Alien Isolation would be amazing. Though i doubt it, as that game didn't seem to sell that well.

 

[DriftingSpirit]

Looking forward to it.

Reviews didn't help either.

 

[skeezx]

another Isolation would be kind of after the fact, but i wouldn't complain

i have faith in whatever it is, either way

Get used to it. That is where all of the industry is heading

 

[Nephilim]

Alien Isolation was excellent and is still one of the best looking games out there IMO.
Looking forward what this guys are making.

 

[Calfirma]

Man I just want Total War on console. I know its nigh impossible but a man can dream.

 

[Emka]

The Thing Isolation.

 

[Raylan]

Sounds like Command & Conquer.

 

[VeePs]

Hopefully whatever they work on, it'll be a success.

I really hope 343 works with them for Halo 6 Maps tho - or at least if they decide to do any remakes like Terminal, Lockout, Turf Wars, etc.

edit: whoops lol

 

[DarthWalden]

Creative assembly has created 2 of my favorite games this generation in Alien Isolation and Halo Wars 2. I can't wait to see what they do next.

 

[Nuclearaddict]

Maybe a new Spartan: Total Warrior-esque game.

 

[Lukas Taves]

I didn't find any reference to multiplatform/multiformat from their job listings, it likely is,but where is this quote coming from?

Edit: And it's the console team, the same that made Alien Isolation and Halo Wars 2. I hope 2 wasn't the end for HW :(

 

[Strafer]

Isolation should totally be a new genre just like we now have Souls as a genre.

 

[Deleted member 29939]

Alien Isolation 2

God I want this so bad!!!

:(

One of my fav games this gen

 

[Greigor the FellHand]

Warhammer 40,000: Armageddon

 

[WellbornWarrior]

I just want a sequel to Spartan Total Warrior. The only competent Dynasty Warriors clone that was ever produced.

 

[Toa Axis]

Alien Isolation 2 please. The first game was one of the best survival horror games in recent memory, and I'd absolutely love to have a sequel (as unlikely as it is).

 

[NTGYK]

Aliens or The Thing pls

 

[dicetrain]

Aliens Isolations please!

Or The Thing: Isolation or Jurassic Park: Isolation!

I was just referencing this concept in the hypothetical how to do a Dino Crisis remake thread. If they do it I'm totally in.

 

[SirBaron]

As much as I want alien isolation it's going to be something disappointing (to me).

 

[Aselith]

Aliens Confrontation

 

[carlosrox]

After Alien Isolation I am 100% interested in this. Sure hope it turns out to be something up my alley.

Creative Assembly are owned by Sega, another MS published game was unlikely even if Halo Wars 2 hadn't bombed.

Anyway, I worry that this will just be "Sega's Destiny" in the same way Anthem is "EA's Destiny."

 

[Kazuhira]

How much has AI sold anyway? it has 1.2+ million owners on steam alone.
Maybe not Isolation 2 but i need another Alien game with the same level of quality.

 

[JigglesBunny]

I don't know if I would consider Alien Isolation 2 a "new IP" but sure, carry on.

Spoiler

please.

[Rogote]

Hope they're not designing it from the ground up to be all about lootboxes in it's heart and soul. Just saying :^

 

[Genetrik]

Like many others i would kill for an alien isolation sequel but from a business perspective I just can't see that happening sadly :(

 

[emir]

Continue to the greatest.

 

[Ghost_Messiah]

This is pretty exciting. They're an awesome developer, probably the best Sega has, so I'll follow anything that they do. Looking forward to seeing more on this.

 

[MrBob]

Could Total War spinoff be happening for consoles? Not sure if this qualifies for new IP.

You should give one of their Total War games a shot.

That is their bread and butter so to speak.

Just like the industry was heading towards free or 99 cent mobile games and consoles were doomed, right? We don't have to get used to it, we can choose to not support bullshit and it will eventually fade away.
