Unannounced Infinity Ward title in development for TBA platforms.
An Infinity Ward resume and multiple job listings suggest that the studio’s next game will be available on next-generation consoles. According to the resume of Modern Warfare 3 engineer Andrew Aye, Infinity Ward is currently working on an unannounced title that will be available on Xbox 360, PlayStation 3, PCs with DirectX11 support and TBA platforms. Those TBA platforms, of course, are very likely the next-generation Xbox and PlayStation, which are also heavily rumored to support DirectX11.
This isn’t the first time we’ve seen evidence that Infinity Ward’s next game is for next generation platforms, following a job listing mentioning next-gen technologies that surfaced in January. Listings currently available on the studio’s official site are seeking a senior technical VFX artist who can “raise the bar for visual effects on current and next generation hardware” and a senior engineer to “implement gameplay systems and features for an exciting unannounced next generation console title.”
Aye previously served as lead engineer on Modern Warfare 3, in addition to work at Microsoft, Obsidian and Terminal Reality. Infinity Ward has continued to produce downloadable content for Modern Warfare 3 and is currently working on content set to be released through September.
