March 28, 2005 - After finishing up Team Sabre for Novalogic, Ritual closed its super secret shutters and began working on two unannounced titles. While we still have no idea what those games may be, we have learned that the development house is currently ramping up to support at least one of them.

A job posting on the company's official webpage states that Ritual is currently seeking an individual to fill the role of a producer on what's being referred to as a, "multi-platform AAA action title." In addition to requiring relocation to Ritual's Dallas, TX offices, job requirements include lots of experience and a bunch of other really important things.

While Ritual has traditionally been a PC-centric developer, the move to cross-platform creation is unsurprising. What is odd is the current rumor that the unannounced title in question would be revealed soon -- and they're only getting an in-house producer now? Typically a videogame has a developer and publisher handled production layer in place before it's revealed to the public, but whatever.

Despite all the rumors and related info, we just can't say what this game is. Recently, IGN learned that Ritual was forced to can development on SiN 2 due to a lack of publisher interest, so it's probably not that (damn it all to hell).

For reference, Ritual Entertainment was the principle force responsible for such memorable titles as:

  • Delta Force: Black Hawk Down Team Sabre
  • Heavy Metal: F.A.K.K.2
  • SiN
  • Star Trek: Elite Force II

    Additionally, Ritual has contributed its talent to the following projects:

  • Medal of Honor: Pacific Assault
  • Legacy of Kain: Defiance
  • Alice
  • Half-Life: Opposing Force

    We'll have more details on both unannounced titles as they become available, but we'll at least know what one of the games is by E3.
