Black Rock hiring for unannounced game

By Tom Bramwell Published 29 June, 2010

Positions available on PS3 and 360 title.

Brighton-based Black Rock Studios is hiring for positions on an "unannounced game on Xbox 360 and PS3".

That's according to a job posting on mother-publisher Disney's website seeking an "experienced Technical Art Director".

The listing offers no further details on the game.

Black Rock shipped Split/Second: Velocity last month, picking up 8/10 in Eurogamer's review.

Playful, spectacular and unpretentious, Split/Second is a game about triggering explosions to do away with your rivals and avoiding the same thing happening to you. It also features a variety of modes that build on that premise.

The studio's previous release was the similarly-accomplished off-road racer Pure.

Black Rock was previously part of the Climax Group, for whom it developed MotoGP titles, prior to its acquisition by Buena Vista Games in 2006.

    Split Second 2, surely. I mean the end of the game set up a sequel nicely, didn't it?

    I would *love* a sequel to Split Second, I just finished it. LOVED IT.

    Is this seriously fucking news? "Games developer is working on a game that we know nothing about".
    What do you think they are doing? Sitting in an office, playing Red Dead Revolution until someone at Disney remembers they just finished Split Second and they should perhaps get on with something else?
    Seriously, when did reporting NOTHING become journalism? This is the most pointless thing I've seen posted on the internet today, and I have some seriously dull Facebook friends.

    "It's understood they will be stacking some shelves. We're not sure what with, but Tesco has sold food in the past, so it's understood that it could be some food. We're not sure what food."

    Started keeping on eye on these guys when I played and finished Pure, excellent game, then S/S:Velocity came out and once again excellent!!!
