Uncharted director Richmond leaves Naughty Dog for Riot Games

Newsbrief: Naughty Dog's Justin Richmond, who served as game director on both Uncharted 3 and the studio's upcoming PlayStation 4 game Uncharted 4, has announced that he has left the company to join up with Riot Games. "I have in fact made the decision to leave Naughty Dog," Richmond told IGN. "I love the company and the people and know that they will continue to create awesome games going forward." "On a happier note, after careful consideration and exploration I have joined Riot Games. There is some really innovative stuff going on here that I can't wait to be a part of." Gamasutra has reached out to those involved for further comment. Richmond's name may be fresh in your memory because Naughty Dog made a show of advertising his involvement with Uncharted 4 alongside Amy Hennig when it announced the game late last year. Hennig also left the studio earlier this month.
