Creative Assembly is reportedly busy creating its “biggest multiformat project in studio history,” according to an insider speaking with PCGamesN. The project is a totally new IP, and has the team behind Halo Wars 2 and Alien: Isolation working on it.

In addition to the veteran staff, Creative Assembly is looking for several new hires. Over on the developer’s job listings page, there’s requests for a “senior meta game designer,” “lead systems designer,” and a “lead technical artist.”

Here are the “key responsibilities” of each, which offer teases at what the new IP will be about:
