'H1Z1' developer Daybreak Games has a new game in the works
Daybreak Games, responsible for the popular classic "Everquest" and the recent "H1Z1," is apparently gearing up for a new project. The company is reportedly looking for new recruits to help them out in building this unannounced and unnamed game.
The official website of the company displays a job listing that includes a lot of positions including animators, game designers, programmers, among others. Fans have been quick to note that all of the vacancies are definitely required to make a game. There is no official announcement of the game just yet, but there are sneak peaks of what it would be according to the job posts.
The game would be an "action-based game systems" with the usual gear, weapons, combat mechanics, and a "fast-paced iterative environment." That alone already hints at a possible massively multiplayer online role-playing game (MMORPG) since the company has always specialized in online gaming. True enough, the website also states that it actually is an MMORPG but is also based on a "hugely popular [Intellectual Property] IP."
Searching further, according to MMORPG.com, there are actually two games in the works by Daybreak Games. One is the MMORPG already mentioned, while the other one is an FPS/TPS (first-person shooter/third-person shooter) game. This is also no surprise given "H1Z1." Although the game started off really slow for them, it is now building a good reputation after a long while in its early access.
Lastly, as for what consoles these games would be available for, the job description says that they are looking for people with experience working PlayStation 4 and Xbox One. It seems most likely that they are aiming for those consoles with their new games.
It may take a while before they find people to fill in the roles, let alone either of the games getting official announcements. The company is also still working on "H1Z1" as well. It may be a possibility that the positions for the FPS/TPS are for the development of "H1Z1". Gamers will just have to wait for an official announcement from the company.
