Visceral looking to fill senior environment artist opening for Dead Space franchise
The rumors for Dead Space 3 just keep popping up, and a job listing posted today on Creative Heads has Visceral looking for a senior environment artist for the Dead Space franchise. Granted, a job listing for a position working on an “unannounced platform, PS3, Xbox 360″ title doesn’t confirm a third game is in the works, and if true, it wouldn’t be that big of a shock. Still, it’s nice to see a company hiring in this economy. Thanks, Klaxusprime.
