A first-party Xbox Studio, The Initiative has recruited former BioWare, Naughty Dog, and Respawn developers to their rapidly growing team.


They've hired the senior Apex Legends developer, Sean Slayback as well as the BioWare lead animator, Ryan Duffin. Alongside them, artists like Justin Walters (Doom 2016) and Ryan Trowbridge (Uncharted 4) also followed suit.


The studio already has quite a line-up of talented developers. Let's not forget that even one Brian Westergaard is now the director of production. If he'll be as successful as he was with God of War, we are in for a wild ride!


Anyway, yeah, looking forward to seeing what The Initiative comes up with in the near future.
