The listing doesn't detail what the new IP will be, but details can be inferred from some of the requirements and duties for candidates. The studio is looking for developers who have experience with first- or third-person shooters, as well as those who have designed vehicle combat in a game before. The designer's duties will also involve seeing boss designs through from concept to execution, and a variety of tuning functions, including "magic distribution."

The Santa Monica studio is best know for God of War and is currently working on the fourth console installment in the series, God of War: Ascension. However, the developer has also collaborated on numerous other projects, from Twisted Metal titles and Warhawk to Thatgamecompany efforts like Flow and Journey.
