Last week brought us a glimpse of an Xbox 720 logo in Real Steel, and now it seems staffs at Redmond are getting a little bit loose-lipped regarding the project. Despite the fact that it was yet to be made official by Microsoft, several Microsoft staff have listed the next-gen Xbox console as part of their responsibilities on resume and professional networking site LinkedIn.

Gematsu reports that Twitter user @supererogatory recently came across several Microsoft employees working on ‘next generation’ stuff at Microsoft’s Xbox division in LinkedIn listings dating back to 2010. There’s Jeff Faulkner, who describes his position as “Xbox Next Gen Creative Director.” Along with Faulkner, there’s “Senior Creative Director for Xbox,” Jonathan Harris, who is currently “designing the next generation of entertainment.” They’re joined by  Patrick Corrigan, tasked with “providing groundwork and integration for branding elements for next-gen Xbox on all forms of media. Ranging from print to UI across future releases of the Xbox platform,” and Joe Langevin, an “Xbox Hardware Intern at Microsoft,” who says he’s working on “high speed data buses to prevent electromagnetic interference in next-gen devices.” Of these four, Faulkner, Harris and Langevin are all still at Microsoft’s Xbox division, Corrigan moved on to another opportunity in June of this year.

Of course, news that Microsoft is working on a next generation console should come as no surprise to game fans. However, staffs are clearly getting a bit sloppy in their efforts to keep the new Xbox under wraps. Let’s hope this means we’ll hear something official on it in the coming months.
