Playground Games is experiencing one of its most active moments. With two of the most anticipated projects in the current Xbox catalog currently in the works, the British studio has once again found itself at the center of the conversation following the latest Xbox Developer Direct. However, beyond what’s already known, a new hint suggests that the team may have something else up its sleeve.

The information doesn’t come from official announcements or press releases, but from a detail that has quickly caught the attention of the community. A subtle move, but one that’s enough to open the door to new speculation about the studio’s immediate future.

A professional profile points to an unannounced project at Playground Games

The clue comes from the LinkedIn profile of Jonathan Baker, a 3D animator who recently joined Playground Games. In his professional description, it’s mentioned that he’s working on an unrevealed project, with no direct reference to Fable or Forza Horizon 6, which has raised suspicions among the studio’s followers.

Although there’s always the possibility that it’s related to supporting additional content or advanced development phases, the context reinforces another theory. Playground expanded its structure last year with the opening of a third team, a decision that would fit better with the existence of a third game in production, whether it’s a new IP or an unannounced franchise.

For now, there’s no official confirmation from Xbox or the studio itself, so it’s best to remain cautious. Still, the hint leaves a clear impression: Playground Games may not have shown everything it’s working on yet, and its roadmap could be more ambitious than what’s publicly known.
