God of War Ragnarok Art Director Joins Naughty Dog

In May last year, God of War Ragnarok art director Raf Grassetti left SIE Santa Monica Studio after a decade with the team, and now, he has joined another flagship first-party PlayStation studio.

Taking to Twitter, Grassetti announced that he has joined Naughty Dog, the developer of the Uncharted and The Last of Us games. Grassetti did not elaborate on what his role or position at the studio will be, or what project he will be working on.

At Santa Monica Studio, Grassetti also worked on God of War (2018), while prior to that, other roles at PlayStation had seen him involved in the development of The Order: 1886, Killzone Shadow Fall, and inFamous: Second Son. Previously, he also worked on Mass Effect 3 at BioWare.

It is currently unknown what Naughty Dog is working on, but the studio revealed a year ago that it was working on multiple ambitious single-player projects. Of these projects, the next one is confirmed to once again feature a character played by Troy Baker, while one of the titles could also be a new IP.
