Aardman, the acclaimed UK studio known for the Wallace and Gromit series, is making what sounds like a big and ambitious video game as one of its next projects, according to job listings.
TechRadar spotted multiple job postings that call for applicants to work on «visually unique games for PC and console,» featuring humorous characters and the kind of «love and craftsmanship» that Aardman is known for. As for the new project specifically, a job ad for a level and narrative designer says it will be an «incredible, brand-new IP with a major publisher.»
The successful candidate would work with Aardman to «build a mad, open world and fill it with compelling stories.»
