Recent rumours and leaks suggest the developers behind Red Dead Redemption and Grand Theft Auto could be working on a new medieval franchise.
Rockstar are renowned for creating some of the best open world experiences in gaming, period. But theyโve also garnered notoriety for taking so darn long in said gamesโ development and making new announcements.
Thankfully, hot on the spurred heels ofย Red Dead Redemption 2โs release just a year ago, weโre already hearing a whole bunch of rumours related to the developerโs upcoming projects.
The latest murmurings on social media suggest that Rockstar could be working on a brand-new open world IP set in medieval times. Granted, weโd already heard a while back that something entitled โProject Medievalโ was being kicked around by the devs in secret, but this is the first time in a while weโve had tangible evidence that the idea has gone beyond the drawing board.
The update comes from the LinkedIn profile of Rockstar โcharacter artistโ Pawas Saxena, who inadvertently revealed the company were hiring for someone to create โmodular environment piecesโ with โorganic finish following medieval architectural styleโ. As you can imagine, eagle eyed Redditors were quick to pounce on the leak, and Saxena removing the original post proved a feeble attempt to stop the jibber-jabber of gamey matter (and further confirmation of the new project).
