Hellblade director and Ninja Theory co-founder Tameem Antoniades is no longer at the Microsoft-owned studio.
Plenty of Hellblade 2 details and news today ahead of the game's launch next month. As covered some hours ago, the game will feature highly cinematic combat, giving the players the sense of a high-quality indie movie. In addition, it was revealed that the highly-anticipated sequel will only run at cinematic 30FPS on Xbox Series X|S.
Interestingly, an article from Polygon has revealed that vibrant Hellbade writer and director Antoniades has left Ninja Theory. An Xbox spokesperson later confirmed to Polygon that the co-founder has left the Cambridge-based studio. While Antoniades appears to have briefly worked on Hellbade 2, creative development is now being helmed by environment art director Dan Attwell, visual effects director Mark Slater-Tunstill, and audio director David Garcia.
No further details about Antoniades' departure from Ninja Theory, and it will be interesting to see what the former co-founder will be doing next. We'll update you as soon as more information on the matter comes in.
