The Activision Blizzard studio, Infinity Ward, best known for its work on the Call of Duty franchise, in a job listing for a Narrative Director has hinted that it is working on an open-world RPG.
"The ideal candidate will have proven experience working on non-linear narratives in open world games and directing cinematics in AAA quality titles," reads the job listing.
The job listing adds, "Your role is to provide the best narrative and cinematic experience in an open world RPG."
An open-world RPG is something Infinity Ward has never worked on as they have only ever developed Call of Duty games dating back to the original in 2003 and up to this year's Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 2.

I wonder if it's going to be an Xbox/PC exclusive.
CoD of the Wild.
So, what happened to Activision's "All our devs are making CoD now." thing?
Not yet but regardless, it's a step in the right direction. Giving these devs some real creative freedom to create new works of art instead of the next iteration of money laundering can never be a bad thing. If I was a dev, I wonder regardless of pay, if I'd ever want to be working on just the next CoD over and over. :P
