It looks like Behaviour Interactive is cooking up something new, and by “something new,” I mean a sci-fi first-person shooter that will probably have a battle pass, DLCs, and a roadmap that stretches out to infinity. Because, you know, that’s what the gaming industry is all about these days – milking every last penny from a game until it’s a hollow shell of its former self. A recent job listing has all the usual buzzwords: “AAA,” “sci-fi,” “first-person shooter,” and “Unreal Engine.” Yeah, because we haven’t seen that combination before. I’m sure it’ll be a completely original game and not just a rehashing of every other sci-fi FPS out there.
The Speculation Begins
The job listing is for a Senior Technical Animator position, and it mentions that the game will have a “high realism bar.” Oh boy, that sounds like a real challenge – making a game that’s realistic, but not too realistic, because let’s be real, who needs realism in a sci-fi game? It’s not like we’re trying to simulate actual space travel or anything. The listing also mentions bipedal and non-bipedal characters, which is just a fancy way of saying “we’re going to have some weird alien creatures in this game.” And of course, it’s all being made in Unreal Engine, because what game isn’t these days?
Meet Your Maker… Again?
Some people are speculating that this new game might be related to Behaviour Interactive’s previous game, Meet Your Maker. But let’s be real, that game was met with mixed to negative reviews, so it’s unlikely they’d double down on a sequel. Unless, of course, they’re trying to cash in on the whole “live-service” trend, in which case, they’ll probably just rebrand it as a “spiritual successor” or something. The job listing does mention that the game will have mechanical setups and procedural animation systems, which sounds like a real mouthful. I’m sure it’ll be a blast to play, said no one ever.
The Usual Suspects
Behaviour Interactive has worked with some big-name companies in the past, like Microsoft, Sony, EA, Warner, Netflix, and Take-Two Interactive. So, it’s possible that this new game might be a collaborative effort. Maybe they’re working on a new Fallout game with Bethesda, or perhaps they’re making a Halo game with Microsoft. The possibilities are endless, and by “endless,” I mean “limited to whatever IP they can licensing rights to.” After all, who needs original ideas when you can just slap a familiar logo on a game and call it a day?
The Wait Begins
For now, we’ll just have to wait and see what Behaviour Interactive has in store for us. Maybe we’ll get a teaser or announcement at The Game Awards 2026, or maybe we’ll have to wait until 2027 for a proper showcase. Until then, we can just speculate and dream about what this new game might be. Or, you know, we could just stick to playing Dead by Daylight and forget about all this hype. After all, that game is still going strong, and it doesn’t need a battle pass or DLCs to be fun.
And so, we wait with bated breath for the announcement of this new game, which will probably be a generic sci-fi FPS with a generic storyline and generic gameplay mechanics. But hey, at least it’ll have a cool logo and some fancy graphics, right? That’s all that really matters in the gaming industry these days.
