Former Gears of War producer quit Epic games back in 2012 and joined Irrational as VP of development on BioShock Infinite. Ever since the game shipped, Fergusson stated that he’s “done what I set out to do here”.

Furgusson spoke and explained to Polygon “”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.”

He continued on, “”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.”

Furgusson’s next destination is unconfirmed at this moment.

BioShock was released on March 26th and received fantastic review scores across all video game sites.
