New Gran Turismo In Development

When you think of iconic racing franchises, it’s hard not to think of Gran Turismo. ‘The Real Driving Simulator’ has delivered on its promise for over 25 years, and Polyphony Digital is hiring for the next GT game.

If you grew up with any PlayStation console, chances are you’ve owned a Gran Turismo game at some point, or at least played one. Its excellent brand of simulated driving that has gotten better over the years, and looks so realistic you’d think you were in the car.

Polyphony Digital‘s Gran Turismo tinkering is not over.

Polyphony Digital Hiring For New Gran Turismo Game

There are 18 job listings at Polyphony Digital at the time of writing. There’s probably always one or two jobs going, but there might not be a better time to apply.

A translated message on the job page says this (presumably from Polyphony Digital Founder Kazunori Yamauchi):

“Gran Turismo” production team recruitment. It’s been 25 years since I started making Gran Turismo. The main reason we were able to keep making it was because of the players. I think this is proof that the work I continued to make so hard resonated properly. We are proud to have realized the ideas of the future as much as possible through art and technology. But I always think it’s still not enough to deliver the best experience to players…I want to create the future with art and technology. To those of you who have an insatiable desire to create. We look forward to your passion, technology, and ideas.”

There’s a giant headline under the message, which reads: “Now hiring staff for the production of ‘Gran Turismo.’” 

There are tester roles, CG Artist opportunities, and much more.

Knowing how long the development cycle of these games is now, it’s unlikely we’ll see the next Gran Turismo anytime soon, and it might be a smart bet to say it will only be playable on the PlayStation 6.
