V1 Interactive, the studio that only managed to make Disintegration, had barely shut down when its founder and Halo co-creator Marcus Lehto announced he was leaving for EA’s new Battlefield studio, Ridgeline Games. That was over two years ago, so many were hoping to soon see what Lehto might bring to DICE’s FPS universe. It turns out we won’t get to see it at all.
Indeed, Marcus Lehto confirms Facebook et LinkedIn that he left Ridgeline Games. This is quite interesting, as he was the game director on the Battlefield game the studio is working on. Does this mean he had “creative differences” with EA, was fired, or something?
Lehto hasn’t said anything else regarding this on social media, so it’s hard to tell, but the fact that this is happening only three weeks following he posted a apparently happy photo of a lunch with the team definitely looks like he hasn’t been planning this for a long time…
