The Last of Us’ Departed Art Director Nate Wells Rejoins Naughty Dog

by Giuseppe Nelva(6 hours ago)30 @abriael

News PS4News PS4

The Last of Us‘ Art Director Nate Wells was reported to have left Naughty Dog back in April to join Giant Sparrow Games and work on a new game, but apparently he couldn’t stay away from the kennel very long, as his Linkedin Profile now has changed to show him back at the house of Uncharted with a new Lead Artist role.

While we don’t know what caused the switch, looks like things have gone back to square one, demonstrating once more how fluid the gaming industry is.

We reached out to Wells requesting more details, and we’ll let you know if we receive any further information.

Doesn't sound like they're doooomed anymore. :)

What was it? Developers are leaving Sony, like rats leave the sinking ship?

He probably wanted something they didn't want to/couldn't give back in April, but one of the two sides maybe decided to compromise.

Thanks jlmurph!

I don't blame him, how could you leave a studio with such a great working atmosphere and team?

sometimes the only way to move up in an organisation is to zigzag.

means you leave the company and then they hire you back at a better role.
