Not much has been divulged about Sora since Masahiro Sakurai founded it in 2005. The creator of the Kirby and Super Smash Bros. series opened up the studio after leaving his developer post at HAL Laboratory four years ago, and word had it that they were working on two projects (in addition to Sakurai's leader role on the Super Smash Bros. Brawl staff), but actual details? Hardly a peep, there was.
That may all change very soon, as Project Sora (the tie-in development outfit created by Sora and Nintendo) took out a full-page advertisement in this week's issue of Famitsu magazine looking for job applicants. "Masahiro Sakurai and Nintendo are thinking together, and a new project has been launched," the ad said. "In order to expand the range of what video games can provide to the world, we are receiving full support from Nintendo to create something that Nintendo can't create by themselves."
The ad also includes two quotes from Sakurai and Nintendo president Satoru Iwata. "I am asking for something special here, something that isn't Smash Bros.," Iwata said. "I promise that we can provide an experience like nothing seen before," Sakurai was quoted.
Project Sora is accepting applications far and wide, either from individuals or from other indie development teams. If you're interested, have a look at their Japanese website.
