Wallace and Gromit creator Aardman is developing a “mad, open-world” game

pcgamesn.com:

The studio behind Wallace and Gromit (as well as the excellent Chicken Run and Flushed Away) is creating a bonkers open-world game, it seems. As spotted by TechRadar, esteemed animation studio Aardman has posted a job listing for a level and narrative designer working on games who will help build “a mad, open world and fill it with compelling stories”.

There’s very little to go on in terms of what the game will be, exactly, in the job description. However, we do know it’ll be a “brand-new IP” so it won’t tie into any of the studio’s existing worlds, though it sounds like we can expect it to be as fun and distinctive as Aardman’s adventures have been so far, given the role is aimed at helping to “build” a “mad” open world and create “compelling” stories within it.

There’s a smattering of other clues giving us an idea of what the game will be, too. “We’ll be scoping out the size and structure of our world, the player journey from end to end and the way we implement and explore our core, open-ended mechanics,” the description reads. It also indicates that the game will be in the “3D action-adventure genre”.

Elsewhere, the studio makes clear that its focus is “inventive mechanics and compelling characters imbued with the humour, love, and craftsmanship” the studio is well-known for. So, hopefully we can expect a suitably zany and original action-adventure game to emerge.

Come make games at Aardman! We're looking for a Level/Narrative Designer to help us build a mad, open world and fill it with compelling stories.
