Sega’s Hardlight studio is working on a new Sonic mobile game. According to a job listing on GamesIndustry.biz, the company is hiring for a lead artist.
This person “will understand the limitations of a mobile game but still push the quality towards console levels.”
The listing reads:
“As a Lead Artist you will be at the forefront of one of our new titles. You will help drive both the artistic vision and the internal art team to produce high-quality art through effective communication, collaboration, detailed planning, and active mentorship.”
There isn’t much info on the new game. The closest the listing gets to describing it is as follows:
“You will be hands on, creating highly compelling artwork that meets the visual and technical requirements of the game whilst serving as the benchmark for artistic excellence and work ethic.
“You will understand the limitations of a mobile game but still push the quality towards console levels. Being part of Sega, you enjoy and have experience in creating stylised art, exciting worlds and colourful characters.”
Hardlight has made six Sonic mobile games over the years. These include Sonic Dash and its sequel, Sonic Dash 2: Sonic Boom, and Sonic Forces: Speed Battle. It will not surprise you to learn that they are endless runners.
