PlayStation Studio’s Santa Monica is looking for “an experienced Art Director for the development of a new unannounced title”.

The highly-anticipated God of War: Ragnarok is set to be released later this year for PlayStation 5, the unannounced project might still be far into the future, but the project has been in production for the better part of the last four years suggest an old post from the studio.
Earlier this week one Naughty Dog developer teased that the upcoming project from the studio is completely different from what it’s seen in Uncharted and The Last of Us, Santa Monica, one of the biggest and most important development teams at Sony Interactive Entertainment may also be working on a new IP.

With these teams, Santa Monica has published several innovative and award-winning games, some that could be the unannounced project: flOw, Flower, Journey, Here They Lie, The Order: 1886, Bound, Warhawk, Twisted Metal, Fat Princess, Escape Plan, Sound Shapes, The Unfinished Swan, the PixelJunk series, and more.
