A Narrative Designer from Sumo Digital, SJ Longthorne, became a part of a 30 Under 30 list today (congratulations!). In her description, I noticed this tidbit:
"The majority of Longthorne's work over the past year has been as a narrative designer on a triple-A title based on one of the 'world's best known and best-loved fantasy franchises,' with Longthorne's role making up a crucial part of the game's development."
What is this? What could it be? As far as my Era search has shown, we've known they're working on two AAA games, but as far as I've found, we haven't known it was a fantasy game.
It's also worth noting that Sumo has HUGELY staffed up over the last few years, now standing as one of, if not the biggest, "independent" developers in the industry.
