Sony Interactive Entertainment announced in September it had acquired Liverpool-based developer Firesprite. Sony and Firesprite had a partnership for over eight years before the acquisition.
A new job listing for a Narrative Director has revealed Firesprite is developing a AAA horror game in Unreal Engine 5.
"We are looking for a Narrative Director to join our development team for a AAA narrative driven horror-adventure game in Unreal 5," reads the job listing.
"The Narrative Director is responsible for the project storytelling, helping establish & consider the game's universe and lore, with responsibility for the quality implementation of narrative content for project milestones and ultimately the game's release."
It isn't known what this AAA horror game could be. However, there was a report Firesprite has taken over development on a new Twisted Metal game.

They did do The Persistence (was it?), while it has mixed reception, a horror game of that ilk seems rather a fitting progress for them. Of course, as former Psygnosis devs, I'd personally hope for a new Wipeout or Colony Wars for VR2.
Firesprite is busy with this project, the rumored Twisted Metal, and co-developing the Horizon VR game for PSVR2.
Don't play many horror games, but I'll keep an eye for this one.
