Although the current whereabouts for The Initiative on its upcoming project from the Santa Monica studio is nowhere to be seen, we are well aware of the talent that continues to be recruited for the Xbox Game Studios developer. The most recent report, again, is sourced by a finding through a LinkedIn profile which reveals the next addition to the studio’s growing roster of employees.
The information came to surface from @BethWilder26 who shared the profile of former Rockstar Games & now Naughty Dog developer Francisco Aisa GarcÃa.
Taken from GarcÃa’s experience listings, it shares that he worked at Rockstar Games, presumably Rockstar North, where he worked on the most recent entries from the developer. Primarily, GarcÃa was positioned as an AI/Gameplay Programmer for Grand Theft Auto V and the more recent Red Dead Redemption 2. However, GarcÃa left his position for Naughty Dog in early 2019.
While no projects are listed for his time at the Santa Monica-based team as a Gameplay Programmer, it is suspected that GarcÃa worked on the current project the team is tackling, The Last of Us Part II. Now coming close to the game’s arrival next month that Sony Interactive Entertainment announced recently, GarcÃa now moves on to new and uncharted horizons at The Initiative.
GarcÃa shares to be taking the role as Senior Gameplay Engineer at The Initiative, his LinkedIn profile reveals. That is where the trail ends as no more details can be dissected from his account. Howbeit, we did learn from a separate employee that departed from the team with some details on what this new project is. You can read the full uncovering by heading here.
What do you think about yet another good addition for The Initiative?
