Rod Fergusson is Leaving Irrational Games

Although he’s not quite out the door yet, it is happening, and he’s not decided where he’s going next.

Rod has actually only been with Irrational for eight months, having left Epic Games beforehand to join them, meaning he would be working on BioShock Infinite. Speaking with Polygon, he said:

During my departure from Epic, I learned that Irrational was in need of a ‘closer’ to help finish BioShock Infinite. I’ve been striving for better storytelling in the games I’ve worked on and I saw this as a great opportunity to learn from Ken and his team on how to build a truly story-driven game.

I am very proud of the work that I did and of the team and what they were able to accomplish on Infinite. Now with the game shipped successfully, I’ve done what I set out to do here and now I’m looking forward to the next chapter in my life and career.

Rod has been involved in a lot of high profile games then, but what is next? If he doesn’t know yet, then we sure as hell don’t either!
