PlayStation Mobile has been going through some changes of late with key departures and recruitments, and another leading figure has now departed. Michail Katkoff, managing director at mobile game developer Savage Game Studios, has announced his departure from the company on LinkedIn.

“It’s time for me to say thank you and goodbye to the lovely people at Savage Game Studios,” Katkoff wrote. “I’d like to believe I’ve done my fair part in taking the company from zero to one. Now I’m eager to watch from the side as Nadjim and Mike take it from one to one hundred. In the same breath, I wish nothing but the best to Olivier C. and Kris Davis who are leading PlayStation’s charge onto mobile. Can’t wait to play all the amazing games from all the fantastic developers!”

Savage Game Studios was established in 2020 by a number of mobile game dev veterans, before being acquired by PlayStation last year. The studio is currently working on a new unannounced AAA mobile live service action game, presumably based on one of PlayStation’s established franchises.

Last month, it was reported that PlayStation Mobile head Nicola Sebastiani had left the company. Not long afterward, it was confirmed that he had been replaced by two new co-heads of the division in Kris Davis and Olivier Courtemanche.
