A recent job posting from Microsoft Game Studios provided a vague view into the future of Microsoft's PC titles. It appears they are at work on a ''new title based on a beloved franchise for Windows 8.'' The Job Posting went live on December 13th and seeks a senior engineer for the project mentioned above. There is no mention of what this franchise is exactly, but the development team "is focused on building a robust and highly scalable cloud service that is central to the game experience." But considering the inclusion of Azure Cloud Support on many titles on the Xbox One like Titanfall and Forza 5, this doesn't narrow things down. If this is an exclusive, it sure isn't the first Microsoft has put out on a Windows system. The PC version of Halo 2 required Vista to play in 2007, much to the disappointment of those disinterested in upgrading to Vista or paying a fee to play online. Most notably as well, the recent Spartan Assault, which was limited to Windows 8 before recently. Microsoft began working on a large scale of PC games again last month after being somewhat in limbo, with Phil Spencer stating that there are "more individual projects on Windows than we've had in ten years at Microsoft Studios." He further stated the company is looking beyond the casual games at the Windows 8's launch, saying, "Now we're starting to look at bigger and core gamer things. I'm excited by that." More recently (Again through Job Postings) Microsoft revealed it was exploring it's "back catalog of existing IP," as well as Free-To-Play games, it's possible this is related to the new Windows 8 project above. The same could be said for another Job Posting from Fable developer Lionhead, though whether that is for the Windows 8 version of Fable Legends, or something else entirely, has yet to be seen.
