- PlayStation is hiring a Game Tester for an upcoming MOBA title.
- It appears to be different from the project ‘Gummy Bears’ by Team LFG since the specified job is from a different location.
- This MOBA title is set to launch on console, PC, and even Mobile.
The first-party PlayStation catalogue has been relatively dry this generation compared to previous cycles, primarily due to the gaming giant’s focus on multiplayer and live-service offerings, which has resulted in a catastrophe. Out of 12 planned releases, PlayStation cancelled 8 games, while the remaining 4 launched titles also suffered a terrible fate.
Now, PlayStation is back on track in becoming a creative leader in single-player experiences. However, this doesn’t mean they’re shying away from multiplayer titles, as Tech4Gamers has stumbled upon a new SIE job listing that appears to be for an unannounced MOBA game.
Why it matters: MOBAs have proven to be highly successful, etc. League of Legends, even more than traditional live-service games, is a beat that PlayStation hasn’t explored thoroughly. Hence, it makes sense why they’re trying to capitalize on this genre.
The MOBA Game Test Analyst role requires an understanding of PvP action games with fast-paced gameplay. One of the duties explicitly states:
“Executing test plans on pre-release versions of software,”
Indicating that the game has not yet been released.
The job listing also mentions mobile as a platform alongside PC and console, which aligns with the gaming giant’s strategy to expand into the mobile market.
Furthermore, one of the requirements reads specifically that experience in PvP games such as Smash Bros. and Pokémon Unite is required.
While this is an obvious call towards the rumored project Gummy Bears from Team LFG, the studio is located in Bellevue, WA, and this specific job posting is for the San Diego location.
Currently, it is unclear precisely what the project the job listing is for. Still, we hope to hear more about it officially soon, especially since the title is in the game-testing phase, suggesting it is likely nearing the end of its development.
