Maxis is hiring! Now, I know what you’re thinking – it’s probably just another Sims game. And it probably is. But Maxis also made SimCity, and there hasn’t been a new SimCity game for almost a decade now (NO, SimCity Societies doesn’t count), so maybe… maaaybe.
According to the job posting, Maxis is looking for a graphics engineer who “will be working with a highly talented and experienced team on an upcoming triple-A simulation style game.”
The details include meeting “performance requirements on a wide variety of PCs” as well as “good knowledge of the Xbox 360 and PS3 rendering architectures and APIs”, so whatever it is, it’s going out this generation.
Since SimCity 4 was released in 2003, Maxis has mostly focussed on the Sims brand (before handing it over to the Sims Studio ahead of the third game) and Spore; although 2010’s Darkspore got a bit of a tepid reception from critics.
