Update:
The hiring spree continues, now revealing at least one of the games has co-op.

So last time we learned that Ninja Theory was working on a major AAA console game with Unreal Engine 4 while kicking off a notable staff expansion.
I checked a month later and it appeared all those jobs had been filled.
Now they put up another large batch of jobs, including an engine programmer listing with this note:
They wanted to become a multigame studio after Enslaved shipped (to make both Enslaved 2 and DmC at the same time), so it looks like they're finally becoming and got enough contracts to support it.
Given Enslaved is getting a PC port and re-release on PS3, I wonder if Namco signed them for Enslaved 2.
