After Netflix closed its triple-A studio, the former art director of God of War: Ragnarok returns to Sony to hang out with some mischievous pups.

From Sony to Netflix and back to Sony, the art director of God of War: Ragnarok has shared that he is joining Naughty Dog.

In May of last year, Rafael Grassetti announced that he would be leaving Santa Monica Studio after 10 years at the studio and shipping God of War and its sequel Ragnarok as lead artist and art director respectively, without mentioning that he was the studio. broad art director from 2022 until his departure. The developer had moved to Netflix as part of Team Blue, a triple-A studio with other big names like former Overwatch executive producer Chacko Sonny and former Halo creative lead Joseph Staten, but which closed in October. Today Grassetti announced a “new chapter” on his Twitter account, and that is that he will return to Sony, only this time as part of Naughty Dog.

“I’m very excited to join the amazing team and project at Naughty Dog and to return to Playstation!” Grassetti wrote in a post on Instagram. “I’ll be joining Neil Druckmann and his team as art director to help create the next big thing! A huge thank you to everyone involved in making this happen and to all my friends at the sister studios. I’m excited and can’t .Wait to share more about this! Greetings! Whatever that “more” is is a big mystery at the moment, as it’s not entirely clear what Naughty Dog has been working on since the release of The Last of Us Part 2 (no, I’m not counting the remake of the first game nor the second). remastering of the game) and the cancellation of the Last of Us multiplayer spin-off.

There is the second season of The Last of Us TV adaptation coming out next year, so that will at least keep Naughty Dog fans busy, but other than that, we’ll have to wait and see.
