Donald Mustard, most recently known for his role as Chief Creative Officer at Epic Games, has announced that he will be leaving the gaming industry and retiring.
Mustard has a 25-year career and has been a part of Epic for many years, credited with delivering Advent Rising, Undertow, Shadow Complex, Infinity Blade, and of course the incredibly popular Fortnite.
Talking about the decision to leave the gaming field, Mustard said: “I can’t wait to share the future of Fortnite as a player with all of you now! These teams are in the best hands and they are doing huge, jaw-dropping, amazing things!!
“I’m excited to spend time with my wife and family and am forever grateful to @TimSweeneyEpic and the Epic Games family.
There’s no word yet on who will step up and take over Mustard’s role at Epic Games, but with him retiring at the end of the month, we’ll no doubt be hearing more news soon.
