Sumo Digital, developer of Sonic & All-Stars Racing Transformed and other games from acclaimed franchises such as Driver and Split/Second, is working on a game from a “one of the most successful driving franchises of all time”, according to a job listing that’s looking for a “”vehicle handling and performance specialist”.

“Sumo is looking for someone with great experience and a passion for tweaking the physics and performance characteristics of a wide range of vehicles in a successful driving franchise to join our team of Stig Fantasists in Sheffield,” the job ad reads. “A background of successful game design experience is important, as is an understanding of (and passion for) car handling, set-up and the console racing genre.

“If you’re auto-obsessed and want to contribute to one of the most successful driving franchises of all time, get in touch ASAP – we want to talk to you.”

There’s several guesses being through about, obviously, but there’s a good chance that this might be a new Outrun or- fingers crossed- Daytona sequel.

Either way, stay tuned and we’ll keep you updated.
