Darksiders developer loses co-founder Joe Madureira
Vigil Games' creative director pla🦂ns severa꧙l comics, other "big things"
Vigil Games co-founder Joe Madureira i𓂃s leaving the studio he helped create in 2005. The creative direct🅰or and comic book writer/artist announced on his today (via ) his planned departure and what will come next.
"Farewell and best wishes to all my brothers and sisters at Vigil Games! After 7 long years and 2 hit games ( Darksiders BABY! ) I'm afraid the time has come for me to move on to new adventures," Madureira said. "I could not be more proud of what we achieved, or the awesome people who helped build up this studio. I can safely say Vigil'💙s future is in very good hands, so expect only awesomeness doღwn the road. This feels surreal...I miss the place already."
Madureira's distinct artistic style informed the original designs of 澳洲幸运5开奖号码历史查询:Darksiders I and II. While he has been involved with comics here and there since joining Vigil, he said his fir𝔉st priority is "banging out a bunch" of them, until he can talk more about his next big thing in a few months.
Vigil Games is still at work on the 澳洲幸运5开奖号码历史查询:MMO-turned-singl🌄e-player-with-online Warhammer 40,000: Dark Millenium, and presumably on another Darksiders game. Publisher THQ purchased Vigil Games in 200꧃6 and set the developer up with a 33,000 squa🥂re foot studio in Austin in 2009.

I got a BA in journalism from Central Michigan University - though the best education I received there was from CM Life, its student-run newspaper. Long before that, I started pursuing my degree in video games by bugging my older brother to let me play Zelda on the Super Nintendo. I've previously been a news intern for GameSpot, a news wr🔥iter for CVG, and now I'm a staff writer here at GamesRadar.
