In 2022, EA Motive should be one of the leading studios in the strategy of the American publisher Electronic Arts. The main reason ? The studio is currently working on the development of the remake of the first installment of the survival-horror/sci-fi franchise. Dead Space.
The project was revealed last July during EA Play Live, but it would not be the only one in the pipes of EA Motive. Indeed, a new job offer to join the ranks of Motive Montreal suggests that an as yet unannounced project is hiding in the shadows.
The story at the heart of the project
Recently, a job offer for a position of narrative director at Motive Montreal was spotted by the GameRant site. The latter invites candidates for the position to join the studio "in the early stages of an exciting new project where history plays a central role", which suggests that another project is currently in the pipeline for the side of EA Motives.
This hypothesis is reinforced by the presence of another announcement, this time for the post of Gameplay Designer to work on combat and artificial intelligence, which also evokes "the first stages of a new AAA project". .
What seems more or less certain is that this announcement does not concern Dead Space, since the development of the game is supposed to be at a more advanced stage than "the first stages", and the title is potentially expected for the end. year 2022. But then, what is hiding behind this parallel project?
Difficult to answer the question clearly at the moment, as no clue, apart from this cryptic job offer, seems to have been revealed. We know about EA Motive's work around the Star Wars universe, but, apart from a new episode of the Star Wars Jedi: Fallen Order license created by Respawn, it's still early to know what Electronic Arts and EA Motive are up to. of this mysterious AAA.
