Dead Space creator Visceral Games is working on a new game.

A job listing for a lead multiplayer designer describes the title is an “online action shooter”.

“This is a unique opportunity to contribute to a bold new franchise which is a cornerstone for a new EA Games Studio,” reads the listing.

Visceral’s last foray into online shooting, Dead Space 2’s multiplayer, was considered by many to be underwhelming.

Visceral Games is also rumoured to be working on a third Dead Space game.
