Microsoft & Turn 10 assumono per il prossimo Forza Motorsport

Sembra che Forza Motorsport 5 sia in sviluppo secondo un annuncio di lavoro di Microsoft per cercare personale per creare il prossimo gioco del franchise automobilistico. Si tratta di un ruolo per il comparto multiplayer.

La parte più interessante dell’annuncio riporta: “Siamo Turn 10 Studio e abbiamo bisogno di te per la prossima versione di Forza Motorsport.”

La domanda è: si parla di un Forza next-gen per Xbox 720 oppure sarà il canto del cigno di Xbox 360?
