38 Studios has been piquing a lot of interest in the MMO community. Founded by former Red Sox pitcher and long time MMO fan Curt Schilling, his studio has attracted the talents of Spawn creator Todd McFarlane, Everquest designer Travis McGeathy, NY Times bestselling fantasy author R. A. Salvatore, and some of the creative minds behind the Oblivion game and expansions.
It seems that 38 Studios is working on some sort of PS3 project, based on 2 recently posted job listings. The first listing is for a Senior PS3 Programmer with significant hands-on technical contributions on at least one on a AAA-level PS3 title. The second is for a Lead Art Director who will be working on an RPG for the PS3 platform.
The Massachusetts based 38 Studios has been working on an MMO, codenamed Copernicus, for the last few years now, so this could indicate that the MMO will be hitting the PS3. Both job postings were for the Big Huge Games studio in Maryland, though, so it could also be a project that was in the works prior to their recent acquisition. Either way, given the talent working at 38 Studios, this will definitely be something worth keeping an eye on.
