Following the news that Ubisoft Massive — the studio behind The Division series — will be developing an open-world Star Wars game with Lucasfilm Games, the company has updated several job listings for its Star Wars Project, with hints on what to expect from it.
Ubisoft Massive’s job recruitment page was updated following this morning’s big Star Wars news. The page now lists several jobs in various departments in gameplay, art, production, animation, and more.
While details on Massive’s upcoming Star Wars game remains sparse — only announcing that it is a story-driven, open-world adventure — the job listings indicate some areas of focus the developers are looking into.
For example, in Massive’s listing for Senior Progression Game Designer, the studio is looking for applicants with “Absolute passion for playing and making games, especially RPG and Action-Adventure games” as well as “proven experience working with progression systems and balancing[.]” Massive’s previous series, The Division, is a shooter-RPG with live service elements, loot, and RPG-style progression. Could these elements appear in Massive’s Star Wars game? There’s at least a role for progression experts at the studio.
A listing for Senior Writer is looking for applicants that are skilled in “Researching and writing narrative elements to anchor a reality-based narrative within an existing IP,” which we now know is Star Wars.
The “reality-based” narrative element does seem to hint at the tone Massive is shooting for in regards to its Star Wars project, though without concrete details these job listings are only surface-level.
Earlier today, the newly formed Lucasfilm Games and Ubisoft Massive announced the two are working on a new Star Wars game. Other than the announcement that it will run on Massive’s Snowdrop engine, details are sparse on the canon Star Wars game.
Games aren’t limited to just Star Wars, either. MachineGames and Bethesda’s Todd Howard are working on an Indiana Jones game under the same Lucasfilm Games umbrella.
