ORIGINAL STORY: While working with an ideal company sounds like the perfect career, there are those that yearn to try something different with their career. And it seems like a Naughty Dog veteran is headed in that direction.

Creative director Shaun Escayg, who previously worked on last year’s hit Uncharted: The Lost Legacy, has announced via Twitter that he’s leaving the company. He hasn’t revealed what he’s working on next, but there’s a pretty good possibility that he could be joining Crystal Dynamics to work on a yet unnamed Avengers title. That’s not 100 percent confirmed though.
“Seven years ago, I joined the talented team at @Naughty_Dog on a project still in its infancy, The Last of Us,” he noted in his tweet. “Well, the rest is history. Left Behind, Uncharted 4 were fleeting and Uncharted The Lost Legacy pushed my creative growth even further – I will miss all my dogs.”
We certainly wish Shaun the best with his next move, whatever it may be. Meanwhile, you can check out Uncharted: The Lost Legacy for PlayStation 4 now.
