We know that Sucker Punch is working on a new open world PS4 game, even if we don't know if it'll be another inFAMOUS or a completely new IP. What we do know, though, is that its characters are going to be rather fashionable, thanks to a new career opportunity ad seeking a Pattern Maker.

Looks like Sucker Punch is taking the fashionable approach for its next game. inFAMOUS: Second Son and First Light definitely showcased interesting fashion choices for their characters, and it's doubtless that the right clothes can make a game character much more interesting.
What will the next Sucker Punch protagonist look like? Grungy youth or dapper gentleman? Or maybe a fashion conscious, trendy lady? We'll have to wait and see.
