The sports genre in gaming is vast and continues to grow thanks to major developers like EA Sports. There are even times when unusual studios try their hands on the sports genre, and the result can be interesting. Our team at TopTierList found an exciting LinkedIn job listing that reveals Sniper Elite developer, Rebellion Developments, has an unannounced sports IP in the works.
The job listing for an Experienced Game Designer comes with little information, but after deep analysis, we believe it to be a AAA sports title, which hasn’t been announced yet. We find this exciting because Rebellion Developments is not popular for sports games.
The studio is much more popular for the Sniper Elite series and its other titles in similar genres. So, this can be an interesting combination, but considering the job listing, it will likely take a long time before they announce it.

According to the job listing for an Experienced Game Designer, Rebellion Developments is working on “genre-defining AAA IPs,” one of which will be the unannounced sports game.
Description of the Job.Though there aren’t many other details disclosed in the post, we can assume the game is in early development from their statement, “This role would suit an experienced Designer who has worked on at least one game for the full development cycle, looking to bring their skills to a brand-new, unannounced IP.”
Not to mention, they have made several other job listings in the past week, some of which reveal that they have other exciting projects as well. It is possible the first listing is for the sports IP exclusively, while others are more long-term.
Every studio has some unannounced titles or concepts that they work on, but this is special because after reading the listing, this seems like a passionate project. It will be their first sports IP in a while, and if the game is still in early development, the reveal will also take its sweet time.
