Remedy’s seeking a motion control programmer for its “AAA console project” for 360, to work on “next iteration of Remedy’s unique game engine that was previously used in Alan Wake.”
The job ad’s here.
The Finish developer’s looking for someone with “experience on motion-control technology (e.g. Kinect)”.
While no one knows the identity of the game – which was first mentioned in October – the assumption is that it’s Alan Wake 2.
Remedy’s made it no secret it wants to do a sequel, but hasn’t announced the title.
