Splash Damage, the British studio that contributed to the development of꧃ไ Gears 5 and Halo: The Master Chief Collection, is making an original sci-fi game.

In a recent tweet💟, the studio confirmed that it was "creating a brand new game in an original sci-fi universe," and hiring for a number of roles to make that project a reality. Some of those roles are notably senior, suggesting that the title is still in the early stages of development.

role mentions that the g✤ame will be built in Unreal Engine 5. The listing suggests that it could be a free-to-play online shooter, asking for experience with "post-launch monetization," and experience in "creatingꦚ first or third person shooters" and "running the live phase of a game as a service." The artwork shared alongside the announcement of the new project features a figure in a space suit on an alien planet, seemingly wielding some kind of weapon.

A multiplayer sci-fi shooter would certainly be in Splash Damage's wheelhouse. In recent years, the studio⭕ developed the multiplayer components of Gears of War 4 and Gears 5 (as well taking the lead on Gears Tactics), and the PC port of Halo: The Master Chief Collection. There's some serious shooter heritage on show in the studio's past, too - it contributed to the Wolfenstein, Doom, and Quake series throughout the﷽ 2000s. 

While Splash Damage has had a focus on other franchises in recent years, it has made its own games in the past, most recently 2014 sci-fi shooter Dirty Bomb. It'll likely be a few years𝓡 until we get another look at the team's next project, but there's clearly plenty of experience to ꦇdraw from.

While you wait, here are some of the 澳洲幸运5开奖号码历史查询:best fps games out there right now.
