Avalan🐟ce - the studio behind Mad Max and Just Cause - is hiring for its most ambitious project yet. The company's New York studio, which last released Just Cause 3 in 2015, calls the g🐲ame its "largest and greatest triple-A project".

, and the descriptions point at what you'd expect: an Avalanche-flavoured open-world game. Its gameplay programmer will be expected to design scri🅺pted and emergent content, creating systems that can blend together in a sandbox and be used by mission designers to create many varied scenarios. Like, perhaps, grappling onto a flammable container before riding it like a rocket into the sky. Presumably, there will be a developer working there who just makes amazing explosions happen. 'Senior boom designer', or something.

Here's the opening from the system programmer job advert: "Avalanche Studios Group is looking for a system programmer to join our ranks🌳 in creating the largest and greatest triple-A project we’ve ever taken on."

Desired qualifications include in-depth knowle𝓀dge of next-generation console architectures and future architectural trends, suggesting the game will be coming to PS5 and Xbox Series X.

Avalance New York is also hiring for a gameplay animation programmer. The job post says the project will push animation quality 𝓡"a lot further" than the studio has done previously.

The Just Cause g🐻ames have always been fun, but animations are one area where they could do with a bit of love. The characters are always stiff. 💎On top of that, I've always appreciated how beautiful and vast the open worlds are, but there's usually not much to do inside them once you've pissed about with the physics for a while. Blow stuff up, do some missions, then it's over. Surfing planes is fun, but the series is in dire need of some more substance.

If Avalanc꧑he can keep doing what it's doing in the areas where the developer excels, while improving things like mission design, AI, animations, and task variety in the world, it could be one of the best sandbox series ever made. After all, how many other games let you strap rockets to a cow? Exactly.
