Activision's Elsewhere Entertainment recently posted job listings, providing limited clues about its unrevealed new project. The job descriptions indicate that the team aims to create a believable world that continuously responds to surrounding events and player interactions, suggesting the project may be an open-world RPG.
The studio is currently hiring for an "Associate Director of Living World Animation." The role involves systemic intelligent behaviors, deep interactions between NPCs and the environment, and dynamic animations that enhance realism. The job description also specifically mentions emergent gameplay, where different game mechanics interact to create situations not pre-scripted by developers, giving players more freedom and resulting in varied exploration experiences for different players.
Previous unofficial reports mentioned third-person perspective, fantasy elements, multi-layered combat, and multiplayer features, but Activision has not confirmed these details. Comparisons of the project to Grand Theft Auto or Cyberpunk 2077 are merely speculative judgments based on the job postings, not official positioning for the new title.
Activision announced Elsewhere Entertainment in May 2024. The studio is headquartered in Warsaw, Poland, and its members have experience working on series such as The Last of Us, Uncharted, The Witcher, Cyberpunk 2077, Destiny, and Far Cry. Currently, the company has only confirmed that the team is developing a new AAA brand with a strong focus on narrative; the project's name, platforms, and release date have not been announced.
