14 DAY TRIAL // Joseph Staten, who was the main writer and the game director for Destiny, has departed video game developer Bungie, offering no clear reason for the move.
A statement is available on the official site of the game and says, “I'm leaving to tackle new creative challenges. While this may come as a surprise, fear not. It's been my pleasure building Destiny these past four years, and after the big reveal this summer, our hugely talented team is on track for greatness.”
Destiny is a very ambitious project that aims to mix genres and types of storytelling and many fans believe that losing such a key developer might affect the game in the long term.
Launch is set to take place in 2014 on the Xbox One, the Xbox 360 and current-gen consoles.
Staten has not said whether he is joining another company immediately or who will take over his duties.
