Rockstar Staffing Up For 'Next-Gen Consoles'

Forget what Kaz Hirai says about the PlayStation 4: someone, somewhere knows exactly what's going on

We'd be shocked if Sony hadn't shared intel on its next system with a handful of developers, and we'd imagine that Rockstar North — the team behind the massive Grand Theft Auto series — would be top of the platform holder's list.

A new job posting on the Edinburgh-based studio's website suggests that the developer is preparing to make the jump to the next generation. The advert for Environmental Artists states that recruits will be working on an unannounced title for "next-gen consoles".

Rockstar North's current announced project is Grand Theft Auto V, though while work concludes on the sandbox crime simulator, we can totally imagine the studio setting up a seperate team to prepare for the next generation. Anyone up for Table Tennis 2? Yes, please.
