John Gonzalez has decided to leave the team of Guerrilla Games after nearly seven years. The news was released in the past few hours by the same narrative director of Horizon forbidden west via his LinkedIn profile, where he claims to have joined a new studio in Barcelona, Spain, working on a new AAA open world IP. At the moment we don't know which project is in the works, but we expect to find out more details as soon as possible. Furthermore, according to what is reported on the LinkedIn page, for the upcoming PS5 exclusive he has created:
The plot of the game and the main characters, designing the narrative flow of the main quest. In addition, I collaborated intensively on the design, to combine the storytelling and gameplay, and with the artists to create the game's new key tribes and locations. I wrote the key videos, conversations and other content.
For the uninitiated, in addition to having worked as a narrative director on the new PlayStation 5 exclusive, John Gonzalez was the lead writer of Horizon Zero Dawn, and prior to his tenure at Guerrilla Games, he worked on "Middle-earth: Shadow of Mordor" as lead narrative designer and "Fallout: New Vegas" at Obsidian Entertainment. We remind you that Horizon forbidden west will be available soon in exclusive right su PlayStation 5, although Sony has not announced any official release date or launch window at the moment.
