Epic hiring for "unannounced competitive online action game ...

Epic Games logo

Epic Games are up to something. More specifically, they?re hiring some new people to get up to something; and that something is described as an ?unannounced competitive online action game.? I know, I know, that sounds like it could just be more?Gears of War, but wait there?s more.

The job posting also mentions ?player progression? (levelling up,) ?heavy itemization? (microtransactions) and a ?dynamic economy? (more microtransactions.) Exciting! Sounds kind of action-RPG-ey and also kind of MMO-ey. Not surprising, since the theme of this year?s E3 was putting every single game into some sort of hop-in, hop-out dynamic online multiplayer box.

If you want the gig, you?ll need ?Demonstrated experience with advancement, itemization and progression based systems? and ?Experience with competitive multiplayer balance.?

Not a great deal to go on there, admittedly. It sounds rather early in development, whatever it is. Epic has quite a few interesting licenses stashed away from their ?Epic Megagames? era, so it could be one of those. Jill of the Jungle revival, your time is (probably not) now.
