Not too long ago, SIE president Shuhei Yoshida revealed that Days Gone is internally playable, which means that it can be played from start to finish. However it seems that Bend Studio is looking to polish the game up and needs a QA Analyst to help tie up loose ends.
If you recall back during PSX 2017, SIE president Shuhei Yoshida who, according to YouTuber Dexkster, said that Days Gone will release sometime in 2018, and is internally playable from start to finish.
Currently Bend Studio is seeking a QA Analyst. This person will contribute to the development of a triple-A product over in Oregon, which is the same location where Bend Studio is developing Days Gone — titled as a triple-A game. This person will help the team with a specialized focus on testing techniques that will “help ensure a high level of quality throughout the project.”
If you don’t know what a QA Analyst or Quality Assurance Analyst is, the job is structured around testing and problem solving. Job priorities include “testing websites” and “software for problems,” while documenting any issues and ensuring errors are corrected.
This position is a crucial component to any software development process, and is currently in need over at Bend Studio.
