It appears Dead Space developer Visceral Games is shifting gears with its latest project. As indicated by a number of job listings, Visceral is looking for a variety of positions to be filled, including a Global Community Manager, a Game Designer, a Multiplayer Map Designer, and a Character Concept Artist, all of which need to have experience with MOBA's to be considered for the gig. Gee, I wonder what the folks at Visceral could have up their sleeves?
Visceral also revealed that this mystery project will be developed at its newly opened Play4Free division. Put those two major pieces together, and the Dead Space studio is working on a F2P MOBA.
With League of Legends and Heroes of Newerth in full swing, Dota 2 on the way, and Blizzard Dota in the works, Visceral will certainly face some stiff competition. If I had to guess, I'd say this mystery MOBA will be more of a third-person action game -- right in Visceral's wheelhouse -- akin to Hi-Rez's Smite.
What do you think Visceral is up to?
