Sledgehammer Games co-founders and
Call of Duty: WWII directors Michael Condrey and Glen Schofield have left the company they started,
Kotaku has learned. Aaron Halon will take over the top role at the studio.
We first heard about the move a couple of weeks ago, and Activision confirmed it this afternoon, saying that Condrey and Schofield will stay with the publisher despite departing Sledgehammer. Here's Activision:
Following the incredible success of Call of Duty: WWII, Glen Schofield and Michael Condrey have decided to transition from their duties at Sledgehammer Games to new executive duties inside Activision. We thank Glen and Michael for their tremendous body of work on Call of Duty and look forward to continuing to collaborate with them in their new roles. These changes have created an opportunity to elevate one of the key leaders at the studio, Aaron Halon, to lead Sledgehammer Games. Aaron is a founding member of Sledgehammer Games and the natural fit to lead the team. He has over 20 years of industry experience and has played an instrumental role throughout the studio's history. We congratulate Aaron and are thrilled about the future of Sledgehammer Games, which we believe has even bigger days ahead.
