New Xbox One AAA IP To Use Unreal and Cloud; ‘Titanfall’ Big Update And New Xbox One Feature Announced

The Xbox One will be getting another AAA IP as rumours start to build around the next project coming from developer Rare. And it appears that the next project will involve the Unreal Engine as well as the use of the cloud.

This comes from new job postings spotted by DualShockers, wherein the studio is actively looking for a Rendering Software Engineer, a Principal Technical Artist and a Services Software Engineer. According to the job descriptions, Rare is already "deep into the development" of its next project, touting it as an AAA adventure bound to open the eyes of fans.

It has also been announced that the Unreal Engine or its equivalent will be part of the project, as the Principal Technical Artist needs to have some experiences with the software. Lastly, there is a need for someone who can handle the cloud, primarily for one that suits the Microsoft Azure cloud.

Rare has been purchased by Microsoft, so it's interesting to see what kind of games they will be making in the future. And considering that the battle between consoles has now elevated to the level of games, the exclusivity of great titles to a particular console may make or break it.
