It looks like a big surprise is in preparation in the premises of Visual Concepts. In a job offer published on LinkedIn, the major Take-Two studio known for NBA 2K and WWE 2K recruits for an AAA open world running game.
Covered by franchises like Forza Horizon, Need for Speed and The Crew, waiting for the Drive Unlimited Test Return at Nacon, the open world running game is a genre to which Visual Concepts has never been attacked in 34 years of existence, but this announcement only consolidates the importance of the studio in the organization of Take-Two.
“Our Foothill Ranch studio is looking for an experienced producer to join our development efforts on an unprecedented open-world driving game, with a major license. This AAA title is intended for multiple platforms”, perhaps We read on the ad. Visual Concepts Twitter account has also been updated to reflect the production of this new big project in addition to the usual basketball and wrestling games.
Difficult to guess what can refer to the “major license”, especially as the only significant automobile franchise in Take-Two’s history is named Midnight Club. Rockstar Games has not been touched since the Midnight Club: Los Angeles of 2008, but the license still exists in the heart of Take-Two, which quotes it among its 12 series with at least one game having exceeded the 5 million copies Sold.
