The development team at Lionhead is seeking to fill two positions that are linked to a new installment in a long-running franchise that might be linked to the yet-unrevealed Xbox 720 from Microsoft.

The team is seeking to hire an animation director and a core engine programmer.

The official announcements state, “The ideal candidate is someone who has leading industry experience on AAA titles, including large scale RPG, Action Adventure and RTS genres.”

It seems that the new title will be created using the Unreal Engine.

Earlier during the year a LinkedIn profile suggested that Lionhead was working on a game that mixed MMO and role-playing game elements.

Lionhead has also hinted that it will no longer work on the Fable series and that it will create a persistent universe that will be enhanced via DLC delivery.
