EA may be working on a new MMO, according to a job posting on Gamasutra for a web architect with “MMO expertise for an unannounced game” at EA’s Redwood City, CA headquarters.
EA knows exactly what it wants for this project, and it’s a lot:
Let’s be clear. We’re not looking for just anybody. We’re looking for a web ninja that is well-versed in all web technologies and has extensive experience scaling server-side systems. If web technologies were made up on 5 key building blocks (components, data tier, business tier, presentation, integration), you would be Voltron – Defender of the Web Universe.The posting doesn’t flat-out say EA is working on an MMO–anymore. IndustryGamers noticed a second reference to a “revolutionary MMO” that EA later removed from the posting. EA commented on the job opening with a blanket statement, “We’ve got many interesting projects incubating at the Redwood Shores campus, however we don’t have any announcements to make at this time.”
What do you think an MMO title from EA could be? What do you want it to include? How much will it suck/rock when it’s released on console too?
