Bad news for Darksiders fans as Joe Madureira, co-founder of Vigil Games, creators of the franchise, has just announced he has left the company.

Joe wrote on his Facebook page that he decided to part ways with the company, but he did not offer any reasons for his decision, “I'm afraid the time has come for me to move on to new adventures. I could not be more proud of what we achieved, or the awesome people who helped build up this studio.”

Gamasutra reports that the split was amicable and that Joe Madureira has yet to announce any long-term plans.

On short term, Joe was pretty clear, “I'll be talking more about 'The Next Big Thing' in the coming months, but in the short term, I'm focusing on banging out a bunch of comics.”

Stay tuned for more updates on the matter.
