PlayStation is apparently on the hunt for some new talent. The Sony subsidiary posted a job listing for a new Senior Writer on the job-hunting website, Indeed. This listing also confirms that the position is for a new, unannounced game.
“Join the award-winning team that created God of War,” the Indeed posting reads. “Santa Monica Studio is seeking an experienced Writer currently located in the U.S. for the development of a new unannounced title!”
While that is the only real clue we get about an upcoming PlayStation game, the listing goes on to describe the role. “If you love collaborating with talented developers to create genre-defining games, join us as we embark on a new journey. The ideal candidate has a mastery of storytelling and understands the deep partnership between gameplay and narrative. This individual will be responsible for crafting powerful storylines, strong character arcs, deep lore, and compelling dialogue.”
Which sounds like a generic job listing, but could imply that the new game will be more heavily story-driven than Brain Rot.
Those interested in applying should have 5+ years of experience in a professional writing role. Along with shipping at least 2 game titles in a writing role, knowledge of contemporary gameplay, and an understanding of different narrative systems/delivery mechanisms. PlayStation would also prefer someone who has experience working through all phases of writing for a AAA game in development.
Anyone interested/qualified can apply here. We will keep you posted on updates about PlayStation’s newest title as it develops.
