Respawn Entertainment Hiring For "Multiplayer FPS" Project

While Respawn Entertainment's Star Wars first-person-shooter (FPS) game was canceled earlier this year amongst the carnage of a tumultuous year in the video game industry, reports shortly followed that the developers may have set their sights on a different FPS by putting a new Titanfall game into the early prototyping stages of development, though notably not Titanfall 3 and instead a new game in the world of Titanfall. While these reports have not been confirmed by Respawn in any official capacity, the studio has a couple of new job postings on their career page that may indicate some sort of confirmation regarding this – and if the open positions aren't for whatever may be going on with Titanfall, they are certainly for another FPS.

While the two listings include one for a Principal Character Artist, it's the information in the Game Design Director listing that indicates a bit of what Respawn is working on with their incubation team. The job listing was first spotted by eXputer on LinkedIn rather than Respawn's website. Some of the qualifications listed include:

"Significant professional experience designing Multiplayer FPS experiences."

"Experience in systems design such as core player-facing rulesets and large interconnecting frameworks."
