Housemarque has announced that game director Harry Krueger has exited the game studio.
Kruger originally joined the Returnal maker back in 2009 as a gameplay programmer.
His game credits include Resogun and Matterfall. He also served as game director for 2017's Nex Machina and 2021's Returnal.
In the announcement of his departure, Krueger said, "Departing from Housemarque was a very difficult decision for me, but I'm leaving the company with nothing but deep gratitude for the past, and a glowing optimism for the future - with an exciting new project in the works, a fantastic team that's stronger than ever, and the continuous support of Sony and Playstation Studios, I know that Housemarque's brightest chapter has yet to be written."
Housemarque's general manager, Ilari Kuittinen, also added that the studio is gearing up for its next title.

Luckily for them, the fast is over; Visions Of Mana was just announced at The Game Awards, and it's out next year. Check out the reveal trailer below.
I loved World of Goo when it came out way back in 2008, and I've always thought it was too bad they never made another one. So it was really great to hear at The Game Awards tonight that finally, they are.
