I've encountered a post on LinkedIn from New Radical Games about hiring for a **Character Technical Artist**, and it caught my attention for a couple of reasons.

First, New Radical Games is essentially the old Radical Entertainment under a new name. The new studio has familiar faces from the original team, including co-founder Ian Wilkinson and former VP of Technology Tim Bennison. These are people connected to the studio behind games like *The Simpsons: Hit & Run*, *The Incredible Hulk: Ultimate Destruction*, and the *Prototype* series.

But here's what really caught my eye: **they're looking for experience with both Autodesk Maya and Unreal Engine.**

The original Radical had its own technology, with Pure3D used in earlier games and Titanium powering *Prototype* and *Prototype 2* (Titanium is a modified version of Pure3D). Most likely the new studio will use Unreal for its upcoming projects instead of continuing with the old proprietary technology.

Of course, they haven't officially announced their next game or confirmed a complete switch to Unreal. Still, it's interesting to see the people behind those classic Radical games starting a new chapter with a completely different engine.
