Insomniac Games Is Hiring For A New Multiplayer Project

Insom­ni­ac games, devel­op­er of the most recent PlaySta­tion 5 exclu­sive Ratch­et & Clank: Rift Apart, is cur­rent­ly hir­ing for a brand-new project. What’s more sur­pris­ing is that Insom­ni­ac’s new title will be a mul­ti­play­er of sorts. Nat­u­ral­ly, the stu­dio is look­ing for expe­ri­enced game devel­op­ers to lead the project.

There are five job list­ings in total, includ­ing cre­ative direc­tor, a role that requires expe­ri­ence at every stage through­out the pro­jec­t’s development–from the ear­ly stages to its launch. Oth­er list­ings include a sys­tems design­er, specif­i­cal­ly with mul­ti­play­er mechan­ics and sys­tem design, as well as a sto­ry lead that will help to shape a nar­ra­tive, script, and lore. Job list­ings for art direc­tor and VFX artist are the last ones men­tioned in the post, indi­cat­ing that the mul­ti­play­er title has­n’t ever start­ed form­ing yet.

Insom­ni­ac made no men­tion whether these list­ings were for a game that already exists or a brand new IP. Insom­ni­ac is typ­i­cal­ly asso­ci­at­ed with with sin­gle-play­er games, espe­cial­ly in recent years. The stu­dio has released mul­ti­play­er titles in the past, with the most suc­cess­ful being the Resis­tance franchise.

The stu­dio has been doing real­ly well as of late, with the release of Spi­der-Man: Miles Morales for PS4 and PS5 late in 2020, as well as the recent launch of Ratch­et and Clank: Rift Apart exclu­sive­ly for the PS5 this month.
