- Job listing says details will be announced to the press, between October and December 2012.

Another posting was discovered on DeviantArt, and it sounds very much like the first one:
“We’re currently looking for freelances high poly 3D artists.
The project is a video game, an heroic fantasy RPG with higly detailled armors (~500 000 polys per character). It’s not for real time, rather for rendering, 3D printing and other things of the same kind.It’s a big project with a big budget (several millions dollars), but also with a lot of work. Compensation will depend on quality and percentage of completion, from hundreds to thousands of dollars per character.“
Marc Kruzic appears to be behind this unannounced title as the game’s creator. He’s a project manager at Earthlings Games, and was involved with EA and Chillingo for a number of interactive storytelling children games for the iPad/iPhone/Android.
