Ubisoft has not said its last word yet and wants to continue working on major projects. The proof of this are these job advertisements that promise something ambitious.
Ubisoft Massive is preparing hard work and actively recruiting for a still secret project. Job openings have just been published for key positions such as Animation Director, Engine Technical Director and Animation Technical Director. This mysterious project could well be a new franchise or IP and already promises a unique experience. The goal? Continue the work after Star Wars Outlaws despite the disappointing numbers.
A big project on the way at Ubisoft
The descriptions of these new positions suggest a major project. Ubisoft Massive is looking for a Technical Director of Animation to play a critical role in optimizing the game’s visual and technical performance. The studio says this person will work closely with other technical directors to customize tools and define animation constraints. The goal? Optimize storage and performance while ensuring maximum quality.
Here is an excerpt from the job description for the Technical Director of Animation:
As Technical Director of Animation, you will identify, develop and adapt animation tools for production. You will work with other technical directors to define technical constraints to optimize storage, performance, and most importantly, project quality.
This description shows that Ubisoft Massive is aiming high. In fact, searching for such specialized profiles reveals serious ambitions in terms of graphical quality and user experience. The project could certainly take advantage of the capabilities of the PS5 and the latest generations of consoles, a strength of the studio.
Division 3 is moving forward
At the same time, Ubisoft Massive continues development The Division 3. The studio also recently posted a job posting for a Director of Level Design position. This suggests that there will be a strong focus on creating new environments in this highly anticipated sequel. No release date has been announced at this time.
