This is really big, as Sony has acquired a vital talent at their in-house studios. Seth Killian, former Capcom fighting man and community manager, has joined the company and will work on PlayStation All-Stars Battle Royale under Sony Santa Monica.

“Fighting games are very close to my heart, and as someone that’s spent much of my life with traditional fighters, All-Stars has been a great opportunity to take a step back and rethink fighting fundamentals from the ground up.

“The entire team was put together from scratch to create this game, and they are loaded with fighting game superstars (including some impressive tournament credentials–I’m not even the first EVO finalist to join the team!) who love great combat just as much as I do.”

Seth Killian from Capcom US has left the company citing better opportunities or “embrace a new dream” in his words. There wasn’t any animosity between him and Capcom which led to the decision to leave the company, he reiterated.

“In no uncertain terms, Capcom has been a dream for me,” he wrote on the Capcom blog.  “I will leave as I began–a Capcom fan for life, looking forward to all the great games still to come.”

He also thanked all the top people at the company and also the fighting game community.

“To you, I can only say ‘thank you.’ You continue to electrify the world and show the power not just of a game, but of a living, breathing community. Strive to be your best selves, to share our magic with the next generation, and above all else, take care of each other. We are a family.”
