Microsoft lists more jobs for Project Natal, 343 Industries; hiring Shadow Complex, Gears of War franchises lead

November 19th, 2009 at 06:20pm Under Xbox 360

With Shadow Complex setting very specific week-one sales records on XBLA, Epic and Chair would be kind of nuts to not consider a sequel. One job listing out of a recent crop on Microsoft’s employment boards seems to out that likely scenario, implying that Shadow Complex is a bona fide franchise for Microsoft Game Studios and Epic. Said listing specifically calls for a Lead Producer to “lead the publishing side of games made by Epic: Gears of War and Shadow Complex.”

Additionally, Microsoft appears to be looking for more able bodies to join its growing pool of Project Natal and 343 Industries employees. Existing job listings call for everything from designers to engineers to even a few artists. Sadly, the company isn’t looking for MJOLNIR armor models yet, but just in case, Microsoft, you know how to reach us.

Microsoft hiring for Project Natal and Halo

November 6th, 2009 at 06:00pm Under Xbox 360

A variety of new job listings have emerged on a Microsoft employment site, including positions for Project Natal and — perhaps more interesting — positions for a new Halo game. These listings for Halo, likely for Halo: Reach, call for designers, AI developers and animators — even a multiplayer game design lead.

As for Project Natal, some listings point to “a large franchise,” whereas others quote “an excellent next-generation” project — which could be just about anything. We confirmed with Microsoft’s Larry “Major Nelson” Hryb that the listings were legit, though he couldn’t provide us with any more info beyond that.
