A job listing
for an associate UI designer describes it as "our next big gaming innovation".

job listings is looking for somebody that helps "building cutting-edge
technology and powering the development of Monolith's next generation of console

person is to make systems that "drive innovative interactions and behaviors
between the player and non-player characters." This applicant is required to
have experience in 3D open world action games, so we might be looking at an open
