Compulsion Games posts job listings for work on a “brand new IP”

Compulsion Games is one of the more interesting studios to have been swept up by Microsoft during the company’s big developer spending spree from years gone by, with the previously-indie studio known best for creating the somewhat-mixed We Happy Few. In the wake of the team’s most recent release ‘South of Midnight’ Compulsion Games have confirmed that they are currently working on a brand new IP.

As reported by the publication Clawsomegamer, Compulsion Games recently published a job listing on LinkedIn, teasing some of the team’s upcoming plans in the wake of South of Midnight’s multi-platform release, writing: “We're hiring at Compulsion Games in #programming, #design and #art.”

While relatively little can be gleaned from the jobs themselves, the post concludes with a slight tease for what Compulsion Games is working on, stating: “It's the same, wonderful group of people to work with. A fascinating, intriguing, brand new IP.”

While neither We Happy Few nor South of Midnight were the most popular of releases, it is still interesting nonetheless to see the team opting to create another brand new IP for the 4th time in a row.

Going from We Happy Few to South of Midnight, Compulsion Games are clearly improving with each new release. As such, here’s to hoping that 3rd time’s the charm and that whatever they are currently working on winds up putting the studio on the map.
