Visceral Games Is Hard At Work On A New IP

Note to employers: you're going to have to be more careful about what you reveal in job postings

Better luck next time: Dead Space 2 was a great game, but the multiplayer was heavily flawed.

We know you want to attract all the hot talent, but including buzzwords such as "new IP" in your position summaries grabs us journo types' attention like semi-naked shots of Kim Kardashian.

Still, you've got time to learn. For now we'll feed off the scraps of this story: Visceral Games is working on a new IP. It's to be a "thrilling online action shooter game" that will be the cornerstone for a new EA Games Studio. Rad.

The job position's looking for a lead multiplayer designer, who will be responsible for, erm, designing maps and mentoring other budding employees at the studio.

Visceral's most recent attempt in the multiplayer space was the flawed competitive component in the otherwise excellent Dead Space 2.
