Microsoft’s Xbox division is going through some major changes. Within the past two weeks, Xbox One designer Boyd Multerer quit the company as it was revealed that Xbox Avatars were going to be getting a huge overhaul. Now, there is a new bit of change. A job listing was posted by NeoGAF that reveals Microsoft has formed a team that will work in secret on new project that “push the envelope.”
“A new team has formed in Microsoft’s Xbox division with a specific purpose: to push the envelope of today’s and tomorrow’s technology as we explore new ideas from the ground floor. It begins with veterans from Xbox 360, Xbox LIVE, and Kinect. But we’re growing as quickly as our imaginations can be translated into code.”
Microsoft also warns applicants that this unit will be working in secret and that “joining this team comes with risks.”
“Most of what we work on is top-secret; you may not know what your new project is until you’ve accepted an offer,” Microsoft says. “Not all of our ideas will fly. We will fail, and fail fast, on some projects. We will celebrate those failures because they are vital to making sure the right ideas take off in a big way.”
Microsoft also states that if you want a “comfortable” job you should not apply.
Well, now we are all wondering what this top-secret project will be all about. According to the job ad, it will have something to do with future interaction with Kinect.
“If you’re passionate about the potential for Kinect to continue to revolutionize entertainment and are a seasoned software engineer with the skills to prototype and build the future of premium Kinect-powered experiences, we have a growing team of talented people who want to take entertainment into the future,” Microsoft said.
