Sony’s Santa Monica Studio is hiring a lead writer for a new unannounced game. Given that the next God of War has already been announced, it’s unlikely to be the game in question. This role seems to be for whatever will come from the studio following Kratos’ next adventure. Unfortunately the job listing itself doesn’t offer many hints or much insight about what form that game may take.

The job posting simply says they are “seeking a Lead Writer for the development of a new unannounced title.” It asks applicants to join the studio as they “embark on a new journey” to “create genre defining games.” Additionally, the listing says they want a writer who can marry narrative and gameplay, and will craft “powerful storylines, strong character arcs, and compelling dialogue” while building and developing the writing team on the game.
