We hope you're sitting down for this: Some of Sony's developers are hiring for their next projects.

It's hard to believe, we know, but just take a moment and let it sink in. Take a quick breath, have a think about Sully's moustache, and you'll be alright.

Okay, sarcasm out of the way, it has indeed been pointed out that a number of PS Studios teams have begun a new hiring spree as they get to work on what's coming up next.

Pointed out by Zuby_Tech on X, studios Team Asobi, Housemarque, and Polyphony Digital all have numerous job advertisements, each of them subtly hinting towards their next games.

Going by some of the language used on Team Asobi's open positions, for example, it's not too difficult to deduce it'll be making another cheerful action game. A 3D environment artist is expected to make "playful and stunning looking environment art" with an "emphasis on realistic texturing techniques applied to a playful art style". Sounds like Astro Bot to us, but obviously it could be anything.

Polyphony Digital states outright that it's hiring for Gran Turismo, though that's hardly a surprise. It has many open positions, suggesting it's gearing up as it switches focus from Gran Turismo 7 to the next instalment.

As for Housemarque, things are less clear, though it too seems to be staffing up for what comes after Saros. An ad for principal graphics programmer is looking for applicants to "help drive the next evolution of Housemarque games". Exactly what that is, we don't know, but it rarely makes direct sequels, so there's that.

Anyway, interesting, isn't it? It's always fun to speculate about what's cooking at the various teams within PS Studios, and it seems several of them are getting underway with new projects.

What do you want to see from these developers in future? Tell us in the comments section below.
