Joseph Staten takes on a new role as Microsoft Studios Senior Creative Director, after leaving Bungie as Lead Writer for Destiny. Here's the statement in full: [i]“As a senior creative director, Joseph will help create the world’s best entertainment on Xbox, as well as help shape our franchise strategy for some Microsoft Studios titles. He’ll also be one of our leading ambassadors to the game development community, building on his many years of experience and relationships with developers and fans. We’re excited to share more about Joseph’s role in the future.”[/i] As you can see not much information given, but considering how much of an influence he was when working with Bungie, i considered this news-worthy. We wish him all the best for the future. Personally i rather enjoyed his book Halo: Contact Harvest back in the day.
