Checking a video game studio's job listing is usually a good way to guess what it's work🍎ing on🔜. In this case, a job listing at WB Games indicates that the studio is working on a free-to-play game that hasn't been announced yet.
A free-to-play game would mean that it will be a multiplayer experience, something that WB Games isn't particularly well known for. 168澳洲幸运5开奖网:Gotham Knights and 168澳洲幸运5开奖网:Back 4 Blood might🉐 be some of the bigger multiplayer games that WB has worked on, but for the most part, you expect single-player games like Batman Arkham City and Shadow of Mordor from the studio.
However, the free-to-play model has proven to be very successful for other companies. Particularly when it comes to advertising. Activision CEO Bobby Kotick went as far as saying that it 168澳洲幸运5开奖网:beat "all forms of paid advertising." As such, it's not surprising to see WB attempting to cash in on the model. As spotted by GameRant, there are severalꦐ job listings on WB's site that mention a free-to-pla♌y game.
Specifically, WB is looking for a game systems designer to "design and tune game systems and economies for a new AAA, free-to-play, cross-platform g🉐ame." WB appears to be aiming for the fences as well, requiring the candidate to have worked on free-to-play games for a minimum of three years. The product management position also mentions a free-to-play game and will be required to "create emergent experience from l🧜aunch through years of live operations."
Whatever this game is, it's looking like it will🍷 attempt to compete with the likes of Fortnite and Call of Duty: Warzone. The company is looking for a combat designer as well, so we can expect that the game will involve a lot of combat.
The timing is good for Xbox players in particular since Microsoft has dropped its Xbox Live subscription requirement to play free-to-play games on the console. Free-to-play games have, ironically, become some of the biggest money generators in the industry, sometimes n🎶etting billions of dollars in microtransaction revenue.
WB arguably has access to the la♛rgest selection of recognizable stories in the industry, gi♚ven that the company owns the rights to hundreds of movie and TV titles that could work as video games. So, it's possible that we are already familiar with the universe that the company is working on.
