The creator of Borderlands, Matt Armstrong, has announced that he has left Gearbox Software, saying that: “Things changed”. The developer announced his departure on Friday. Speaking on Twitter, Armstrong said: “Things change. Things changed. No longer working at @GearboxSoftware. I will always love Gearbox, but it's adventure time.”
Armstrong’s first credited game was Daytona USA: Championship Circuit Edition in 1996. He went on to help write Half-Life, before becoming a level designer on Halo: Combat Evolved. He has also worked on the Prototype and Brothers in Arms series. Armstrong wrote and acted as design director on the original Borderlands in 2009.
Armstrong is the latest in a line of high-profile departures from the Borderlands family. In January, Borderlands 2 writer Anthony Burch revealed that he was leaving Gearbox to pursue non-gaming related projects. Then last week news broke that 2K Australia is to shut, following the release of Borderlands: The Pre-Sequel.
