    Kotaku posted the news over here: http://kotaku.com/sony-is-hiring-developers-for-which-is-the-1487726791

    And here's the actual job hiring page http://www.scei.co.jp/saiyo/career/wanda.html

    No Caption Provided

    They are looking for:

    1. Game Planner

    2. Game programmer

    3. Motion designer

    4. Graphic designer

    5. FX / Particle designer

    6. Line producer / Associate producer

    Interestingly enough, the page states that it's for PS3, but who knows if their HR just stick the PS3 name on it to avoid unintended news leak or because it's actually still for PS3.

    The next several sections of their hiring page are Job Descriptions, Job Requirements, and Methods To Submit Applications. Pretty standard stuff.

    Maybe it's just my natural cynicism, but to me this just further cements the idea that they're never going to finish this goddamn game.

    Yeah, looking at the fact that they are still hiring planner, programmer and FX designer, makes me wonder if there will be any news about it in 2014. But their job description for line / associate producer also includes budgeting and marketing responsibilities.

    Those sound like jobs you hire for early on in the process, not nearly 5 years after it's announced. This game is never coming out. Just go play Brothers and squint a little. That's as close as you'll get

    Probably had staff in the old positions moved to other projects and now they're looking to start this one up again.

    Good to see that they're finally starting development up again, although at this point I imagine that game has been through some development hell and I'm pretty worried about the quality and vision of the final game should it ever come out.

    This is really old news. A terrible infograph I made 4 months ago. Those job postings have been there for a while now.

    It makes perfect sense to hire additional staff as your project finally gains traction, right? This doesn't mean they didn't already have people under all or some of these positions.
