The studio that enabled the PC port of God of War is already on a new project. A totally new game but which is however based on a PlayStation IP very popular with players.
Jetpack Interactive, the Canadian studio that brought God of War to PC with brilliance, is looking for talent for their next project. A game in close collaboration with PlayStation.
A game service from a PlayStation license very popular with players
New job postings tell us more about Jetpack Interactive’s intentions. After God of War, the studio will still have the confidence of Sony to transform a “very popular franchise” in-game service. It is therefore one of the 10 GaaS (Game as a Service) titles which must arrive on the market by 2026. A sector taken very seriously by the manufacturer now which is investing massively to create a catalog.
We are now working with Sony to develop one of its flagship franchises within its highly anticipated games portfolio service.
Come work alongside our team of experienced developers and be proud to be part of a team working on a popular IP.

To find out which PlayStation license is concerned, you will have to wait. Candidates will just need to be able to create basic game systems. Which involves “Abilities, Movements and Weapons”, so very vague notions. However, we are certain that it is not The Last of Us Factions since the latter is developed internally at Naughty Dog.
An independent development approach
Far from being as massive as PlayStation Studios, Jetpack Interactive is a small team that wants to have an indie approach. But without compromising their ambition to produce an AAA under Unreal Engine.
The lucky ones will also need to master cross-platform development, which suggests the game will release on PS5 and PC at the same time. In the offers, the Xbox is also mentioned, but perhaps because the two consoles are very close, and therefore if the suitors know how to make a game on PS5, there will be no problem on Xbox Series X|S . Unless PlayStation radically changes the way it works with its games service. After all, MLB The Show is no longer exclusive, but here it was above all a decision by the American baseball federation.
