Runic founders leaving company

Moving on to smaller scale development

Posted on

Co-founders of Runic Games, Travis Baldree and Erich Schaefer, are both leaving the company next week.

"I should say from the outset that this is an amicable departure, that I consider the amazing team at Runic my friends and family, and that it is a privilege that they've let me get away with running the place for this long. I'm personally excited to be getting back to smaller-scale development, where I can wear many, many hats performing many, many different kinds of tasks," said Travis Baldree.

The rest of staff at Runic are excited to move on and continue to work on a secret project they've been working on.

Runic Games was founded six years ago, and are best known for creating the Torchlight RPG franchise.
