The last two installments of God of War have been a huge success, and part of that success is thanks to its fantastic art. That's why many fans of the saga will be saddened to know that the art director of the God of War franchise and one of the main creative forces behind God of War (2018) and God of War: Ragnarok announced his departure from PlayStation.
Through Twitter, Raf Grassetti revealed that today, May 19, 2023, was his last day working for Sony after more than a decade with the studio. In his farewell, he took the opportunity to thank his colleagues and PlayStation for his time at the company.
"Today is my last day at Sony after a decade of being part of this incredible journey. It's bittersweet, but above all, I'm overwhelmed with gratitude for the enormous amount of opportunities I had the fortune to have. Sony has been my second home, and I'm immensely grateful to be involved so deeply with God of War. The skills I learned and the deep connections I formed with amazing people will stay with me forever," said Grassetti.
