Housemarque Developer Opens Job Vacancies to Prepare New Game After Saros

Developer Housemarque Saros – Returnal becomes hit big thing that really raised the Housemarque name. As their first big AAA game, the game exploded on the market and entered the list of players’ favorite games in the early PS5 era.

The studio from Helsinki has a “habit” of releasing games in the early phases of the PlayStation console cycle. For example, Resogun, which at that time was present as one of the launch-title games for PS4. So now, they are reportedly preparing to develop a new game after Saros.

Housemarque Developer Opens New Job Vacancies

Recently, developer Housemarque is known to have opened several job vacancies via their official website which marks the start of the recruitment process for their next game. One of them is the Lead Gameplay Animator position which clearly states they are looking for people to help build their newest big game.

Apart from that, other positions open are Lead Lighting Artist, Lead/Principal Systems Designer, Principal Graphics Programmer, Senior Engine Programmer and Senior Sound Designer. From the description included, they seem to prioritize candidates who already have a lot of experience. Some positions even explicitly mention a big plus if the applicant has been involved in AAA game development.

Meanwhile, their next game, Saros, has not yet been released. This means that this recruitment step can be said to be an early preparation to strengthen the team before the development process towards the game’s release becomes more intense.

Saros itself is scheduled to be released on April 30 and its release will be Housemarque’s second step into entering the realm of AAA games. This game also marks their first project since officially becoming Sony’s first-party studio.

From plans to recruit new employees, it is clear that Housemarque wants to continue to increase the scale and ambition of their games. Considering that Sony has recently placed great emphasis on producing high-quality AAA games, it seems that the studio’s capabilities will be increasingly maximized to present exclusive PlayStation games in the future.
