The job listing looks for a combat designer ”to create real-time, single-player combat experiences for a brand new IP on next-generation hardware. This is an exciting opportunity to contribute creatively to the studio and work on a project that is unlike anything Harmonix has ever done before.”
Harmonix’s John Drake responded to inquiries with a statement that read, ”In addition to finishing development on Rock Band Blitz and Dance Central 3, Harmonix is actively developing multiple new IPs on next generation hardware. We’re looking for the best and most experienced devs out there to join us. Harmonix is making new kickass IPs, some portion of which may have some combat.”
If it’s a music game, does this mean there will be a literal Battle of the Bands? Stay tuned.
