Job listings at Neversoft's website have revealed the company is at work -- or soon will be -- on a first-person shooter.
As noticed by GamerZines (via Eurogamer), there are multiple positions related to FPSes at the jobs area of Neversoft's website. These include network programmer, senior concept artist, senior level designer, senior technical artist, level designer, and Windows PC platform lead engineer. None of the listings reference anything specifically, though they do mention that employees would be working on "our new FPS."
It was reported last year that Neversoft was looking to hire for a new "action shooter" game.
Neversoft was first founded in 1994 and is best known as the developer of the Tony Hawk's Pro Skater series and the Guitar Hero series since Guitar Hero III. The last game it shipped was Guitar Hero: Warriors of Rock, and before that it produced Band Hero.
It's not completely new to the shooter genre -- it developed Gun (pictured above) in 2005. It was a third-person game, not first-person, but it's still a great deal closer to the FPS genre than either Tony Hawk or Guitar Hero.
