Peter Molyneux to leave Lionhead
Games industry icon departs Microsoft for a new venture
Games industry icon Peter Molyneux has announced his intention to leave Lionhead and Microsoft, reports Develop.
Molyneux will stay on at Lionhead as creative consultant for the upcoming Kinect title Fable: The Journey until the game is finished.
"It is with mixed emotions that I made the decision to leave Microsoft and Lionhead Studios, the company that I co-founded in 1997, at the conclusion of development of Fable: The Journey,” he said.
“However, I felt the time was right to pursue a new independent venture. I'd like to thank the team at Lionhead, as well as our partners at Microsoft Studios for their support, dedication and incredible work over the years."
Molyneux's next venture will be his new company 22 Cans, which was established by chief technical officer of Lionhead Studios Tim Rance following his departure from the studio in January.
