Former Gears of War producer Rod Fergusson spent seven years at Epic Games, but left the developer last fall as he jumped ship to Irrational Games and Bioshock Infinite. He has now confirmed to Polygon that he is leaving Irrational after only six months.
"During my departure from Epic, I learned that Irrational was in need of a 'closer' to help finish BioShock Infinite. I've been striving for better storytelling in the games I've worked on and I saw this as a great opportunity to learn from Ken and his team on how to build a truly story-driven game."
"I am very proud of the work that I did and of the team and what they were able to accomplish on Infinite. Now with the game shipped successfully, I've done what I set out to do here and now I'm looking forward to the next chapter in my life and career."
Best of luck, Mr. Fergusson. We're sure there are a bunch of studios looking for a closer out there.
