JAKARTA - The studio for the development of video games Naughty Dog announced that its Head of Technology Christian Gyrling decided to leave the company after a 17-year career.

"Our Head of Technology, Christian Gyrling has decided to leave Naughty Dog after a remarkable 17-year career in our studio," the company wrote in its announcement on X, quoted Monday, November 13.

We are grateful for his many contributions to our studios, games, and team-mates. Travis Mcintosh, a 19-year-old veteran at Naughty Dog, will replace Christian as Head of Technology, "concluded the company.

Earlier this year, reported GamingBolt, president of Naughty Dog Evan Wells, announcing his departure from the studio, with Neil Druckmann taking full lead when he was not around.
