The sequel to Visceral Games’ Dead Space is in the final stages of pre-production, according to a job posting from earlier in the month on LinkedIn, discovered by superannuation today.
“The game is in the later stages of pre-production, ready for production in the next few months, with many of the navigational and combat mechanics in place,” according to the advertisement page. “We have complete autonomy and creative control over our own decisions.”
The advertisement goes on to state that EA is 100 percent “committed to this IP, and has already worked on IP extensions such as comics, animated features, and action figures.” The LinkedIn advertisement seeks a lead combat and controls designer.
“This M-rated action/shooter sequel will set new standards for an action-packed story-driven console experience. Our team values are as follows: Gameplay comes first, controller feel is everything, culture of creativity, be highly iterative, playtest early and often, learn from failure, work fast and smart, and surround ourselves with the best talent in the world,” according to the advertisement.
