Our buddies over at Melbourne-based
MMGN have come across some interesting stuff out of Rare where a new project for Xbox One is concerned.
The boys managed to
find a job listing for Rare that asks "If you’d like to be part of a pioneering team dedicated to the next jaw-dropping, never-been-done-before Rare game, why not come and join us?".
While most job-listings for games from developers tend to lean towards bigging themselves up, MMGN also points out that a recent interview with Microsoft's Phil Spencer suggests that "its time for them to spread out and think about more", he also reminds us that Rare has "great franchises in their history, and hopefully their future", leaving us perhaps more interested now than before. As long as it isn't a party game that requires Kinect, and the studio works to build on their past Nintendo successes, we're pretty much signed up.
If this turns out to be something, what Rare game would you like to see revived for Xbox One?

Are there any games that are recent that do something similar?
