Have there ever been a successful triple a freemium game on console ? And don't say any game that has an entry price is freemium unless you're Goon!
Depends how you want to define AAA.
Warframe and Paladins are successful on consoles.
That one is for an online multiplayer game:
Considering the job description of this asks for experience with Unreal/Unity, I'd guess it's for their mobile game, which is also developed in Unity according to the other job descriptions (just like Fallout Shelter).
I wouldn't say that the freemium job listing is for a different project than their big RPG or the mobile project - especially since it also doesn't say it's for PC and consoles like the other listings do. I think it's extremely likely that this is for the new mobile game, which is being called AAA here due to an expanded budget and scope after Fallout Shelter (which was also freemium) made much more money than they expected.
That's for the mobile game, yes.
There was a golang one that was filled and a senior core tech programmer that sounded more like a console project: http://www.neogaf.com/forum/showthread.php?t=1358926
An example:
