Rockstar and Team Bondi's secretive new film noire adventure game, LA Noire, is still some way from release it would seem - the Australian developer busy hiring new developers to work on the game.

As part of what appears to be a hefty push, are hiring car modelers and artists as well as a senior and junior level designer, and a senior gameplay programmer.

The jobs can be seen on the official game site, and while we had hoped the title might be nearing release it would seem that there is some way to go if such integral roles are still being filled.

The new game looks to be based on a mouth-watering Chinatown-esque premise, and early footage hints at style by the bucketload even if we're still in the dark over much of the gameplay. More soon.
