Monolith Productions are responsible for some of my favourite ever games (F.E.A.R and Condemned: Criminal Origins, anyone? Let’s just forget about The Matrix Online for the moment), so it was good to see them have a bona fide smash hit last year with orc murdering simulator Middle-earth: Shadow of Mordor.
Now it looks like they’re gearing up for another big game. Parent company Time Warner has posted several job advertisements for positions at Monolith, ranging from artists to programmers and producers.
Other than several references to a ”large-scale project”, there’s little of interest to be found digging through the job descriptions. Considering how much people liked Shadow of Mordor, though, it’s a safe bet to assume that a sequel is on the way at some point.
In an interview with Gamespot, the game’s design director Michael de Plater said the studio had only ”scratched the surface” of what was possible with the dynamic enemy-generating Nemesis system, and hinted that they would like to explore the lore of Tolkein’s world in greater detail.
