Atlus Hiring For New High End PS4 Action Game

Atlus is on top of the world after the huge success both Critical and Commercial of last year’s Persona 5, but the publisher isn’t just going to ride that gravy train. On top of the forthcoming Catherine remake, it appears that Atlus is hiring for an as of yet unknown “High-End Action Game” through a listing spotted with Japanese career site Creator Partner

The job listing is titled “Seeking 2D concept Design/Key Animation Talents! PS4 High-End Action Game.” It goes on to describe the position as “a job for the in-house team of a long-standing consumer game maker famous for its unique goddess (megami) and demon RPGs.”

While of course there’s no information on what kind of action game they might be making, it’s interesting to speculate on what they might be up to. Atlus has a long history stretching back to the early days of gaming, and while in the past they’ve acted as publisher for a huge variety of games, their in house productions have overwhelmingly been focused on role playing games, not action titles.

It also lists the following duty descriptions:

• A newly under-development PlayStation 4 project. We will tell you of the game’s style when you are interviewed.
• As for the genre, it is a game that includes action-based battle elements.
• “2D concept art production” is the main duty (for this job).

Atlus isn’t listed by name in the job posting, but its location is listed as Setagaya, which is where the Atlus Headquarters is located. They’re also the only company that fits the description of a “consumer game maker famous for its unique goddess (megami) and Demons RPG”.
