The Senior Environment Artist will be responsible for EXPERTLY creating aesthetically pleasing environments, for a console RPG.

Okay, here's a very convoluted guess (my apologies):

 

Obsidian has released their Pathfinder card game.

And this spring, we got a lot of Pathfinder CRPG questions in that survey.

Then we saw that Russian Kingmaker Pathfinder CRPG in the making, with MCA and all, based on the Unity engine, early summer.

Perhaps Obsidian started off with a bigger undertaking, but is now left with the task of making a Pathfinder CRPG for consoles.

I'm not saying it's Kingmaker, but perhaps some other Pathfinder CRPG?

They are not done with Pathfinder Adventures yet. I doubt they would work on the 4 fantasy projects at the same time. Pathfinder Adventures & CRPG, Pillars 2 and possibly Tyranny DLC. 

Hate the living, love the dead.

Reading far too much into it.

 

UI position, you want to take the unique differences between PC and console expectations, input devices etc into account to get the best for both. Environmental artist? You want console expertise as anything that the consoles can handle a PC certainly can. If it were a programming position specifying console only it would be more significant, or even if we still had the more PC distant Cell or PowerPC based consoles, but this doesn't mean much for whether there's a PC version or not given that both PS and Xbox are using AMD Radeon/ x86 systems that aren't much different from their laptop APUs (though they're considerably better at playing games than APU laptops, of course, and far worse at running Office).

Yeah it's best to invest in a companies technology frameworks in such a way the many projects could make use of the tech. Best to have as broad of experience to properly lay the foundation for things to come.
