Fans of
Fallen Earth found a startling announcement on the game's site this afternoon, revealing the news that Lead Game Designer
Lee Hammock will be leaving the
Fallen Earth team:
"Though we will miss Lee, this is an exciting opportunity for him to work on a new property that is near and dear to his heart and we are thrilled and blessed to have worked with him over the past four years in shaping the story of Fallen Earth
."
The (ex) Beard Man is leaving Icarus to join
Gargantuan Studios as their Story Designer, and don't be surprised if the Gargantuan name sounds a bit familiar. They're the ones behind the upcoming
Marvel Universe Online MMO,
scheduled for release in 2012. (
Editor's Note: Gazillion Entertainment's community director,
Stephen Reid, would like us to clarify that the
Marvel Universe MMO currently has no set release date at this time.)
The
Fallen Earth team will continue their push toward Sector Four in Lee's absence, and we join everyone at
Icarus in wishing him the best in his new venture. You can read the
full announcement on the official site.
