In a listing for Junior Level Designer, it noted that the level design team was a “small collaborative” one that was “working on big projects.” Knowledge of Unreal Engine 4, including blueprint scripting, was listed in the requirements. The developer also noted that having experience working on first person shooters would be a “bonus” and being interested in horror and FPS titles would be nice.

So while one’s thoughts may immediately have drifted towards Silent Hill (which has been rumored forever), it’s clear that Fabrik is working on something else entirely. It may be a while before it’s properly revealed so stay tuned for more details in the coming months. In other PlayStation Studios-related news, Bluepoint Games has also been acquired by the publisher and is working on a new original title instead of another remake.

Fabrik Games collaborated with Firesprite on The Persistence, and has also worked on its original IPs, such as Filthy Lucre and The Lost Bear. It’s being speculated that the acquisition was in the pipeline before Sony acquired Firesprite, and that this was part of the reason Sony acquired the studio in the first place.

“They are a team of passionate and committed developers, led by industry veterans who have worked on many AAA franchises. We’re looking forward to bolstering our creative talent as we continue on our journey to offer truly unique experiences for PlayStation fans,” Firesprite boss said.

With Fabrik Games joining forces with Firesprite Studios, the studio has now grown to become one of the biggest studios in UK. PlayStation has been actively expanding its horizons lately, with acquisitions of Housemarque and Nixxes, alongside partnerships with studios such as Deviation Games and Jade Raymond’s Haven Studios.
