Hmmm, an established AAA open world action IP. I'll tell you what I wish it was, a new Sleeping Dogs for Square Enix, since Square closed the studio that made Sleeping Dogs. But I doubt it, 8 years have passed since it released and we've seen no real signs that Square was interested in doing a sequel.
Maybe a sequel to Avalanche's 2015 Mad Max game for WB, I could see WB contracting it out to Sumo if Avalanche was too busy to make it. They have the driving expertise to pull either game off, as they have a racing team within the studio that has done everything from the Sonic Kart games to assisting with Forza ports, to doing some Outrun games for Sega.
Another possibility I suppose would be Crackdown 4 for MS, since they developed Crackdown 3 in collaboration with some other studios, but I'm very doubtful of that, it didn't seem like Crackdown 3 was a very big success, I can't see Phil giving it another chance.
Dang, no web developer jobs. At least they are hiring. Most the country is unemployed right now.
These guys are a 3rd party that is hard to read. They make exclusives for both sides.
