News: Another person leaves one of Sony’s studios leaving behind the God of War franchise where he was one of the driving forces.

High profile people leaving their company seems to be a theme lately. Jack Tretton has announced he will be stepping down, Don Mattrick left Microsoft, Amy Henning has left Naughty Dog, Marc Whitten is about to leave Microsoft and the list goes on. You can now add Stig Asmussen to that list according to IGN. Playstation gamers will be familiar with that name as he was one of the driving forces behind the God of War series at Sony Santa Monica.

Stig worked on the original God of War as an environmental artist, moved to be the Art Director in God of War 2 and, finally, was the Creative Director for God of War 3. It should be noted that he did not work on the latest God of War game, God of War: Ascension. SCEA confirmed with IGN that Stig was no longer with Sony Santa Monica
