The seven castaways include former IW lead designer Todd Alderman, former lead animator Mark Grisby, lead environmental artist Chris Cherubini, lead animator John Paul Messerly, former Infinity Ward software engineer Rayme C. Vinson, programmer Jon Shiring and former lead designer Mackey McCandlish has now reportedly joined Respawn Entertainment under the same development roles.

The new startup studio has not yet announced any project, but in a recent interview with ex-studio head Jason West following the Respawn Entertainment announcement, the dev said:

“It’s all about focusing and making sure our premiere title is huge and something that the fans and the gaming community really are gonna love, that’s what we’re all about right now.”
