Rockstar North gearing up for a new game
Posted on May 24, 2009	by Nick

Rockstar North, the UK-based development studio behind the critically acclaimed Grand Theft Auto franchise, are gearing up for a new game, if recent job postings are any indication. The developer is looking to fill positions in 8 different development areas, from character animators to website designers and everything in between.

While the postings are pretty cut and dry, they do mention that they're looking for programmers with PS360 experience, indicating a game for those platforms. The obvious guess would be a new Grand Theft Auto game, but I'll go out on a limb to be different and say it's a new Manhunt game. Rockstar North's most recent project was the 360 exclusive GTAIV DLC that came out earlier this year, The Lost and Damned.

Credit goes to NeoGAF poster Ether_Snake for the tip.

Actually, they have most likely been working on this game already. Developers don't take a year off after the release of a game to start working on the next game. It's only 1 or maybe 2 months after the release of a game that they start working on the next, and usually, some work is done during development before the game is out so they can get a head start. (The same way Sony Santa Monica had people working on PS3 tech for God of War 3 while God of War 2 was still in development.) It's safe to assume that they are already 1/3 or even 1/2 of the way finished with GTAV. They are in the busniess of making money after all. On a side note though, at least somebody is hiring. [:
