Uncharted PS4 game director leaves Naughty Dog

Justin Richmond joins League of Legends publisher.

Justin Richmond, game director on the upcoming Uncharted game for PlayStation 4, has left Naughty Dog, he announced.

“I have in fact made the decision to leave Naughty Dog,” Richmond told IGN. “I love the company and the people and know that they will continue to create awesome games going forward. On a happier note, after careful consideration and exploration I have joined Riot Games. There is some really innovative stuff going on here that I can’t wait to be a part of.”

Riot Games is the publisher and developer of popular PC multiplayer online battle arena game League of Legends.

Richmond’s departure follows that of Uncharted writer Amy Hennig, who left Naughty Dog earlier this month, as well as several other Sony departures and lay–offs.
