Two Ex-Naughty Dog Developers Start Work On Call Of Duty
If you were a developer at Naughty Dog you might feel like you were at the top of your game – like there weren't many places left for you to go. For two of Naughty Dog's developers, Call of Duty studio Infinity Ward, is the perfect place to go.
The two ex-Naughty Dog developers recently tweeted about their career switch.
New job! Design Director at Infinity Ward. Love ND; can’t wait to play Uncharted 4 as a fan. Excited to work with the talented team at IW!

Very psyched to share that I've joined the phenomenal team at @InfinityWard as the studio's narrative director. To infinity and beyond!

Minkoff was lead designer on The Last of Us and Uncharted 3: Drake's Deception, and Kurosaki was cinematic production lead for Uncharted 3 and editor on Uncharted 2. Now the two will be bringing their talents to work on the Call of Duty series.

Our Take
Congrats on the new positions guys. Hopefully this is a big win for Infinity Ward and not a terrible loss for Naughty Dog.
I’d like to ask you to support Game Informer’s continued coverage of games with a subscription. For less than two dollars per issue, we mail you a full year of 10 print magazines, each with cover stories and preview features filled with exclusive details about the most exciting upcoming games. We profile and interview game creators. We look back on the rich history of gaming, and we celebrate what’s next.
Here on the website, we offer much of our content for free, including game reviews, daily news, videos, event coverage, and more – all with minimal ads.
We do so with a small editorial team, alongside contributing paid writers from around the world – over 65 individuals from 9 countries around the world, just in the last couple of years.
It’s not possible without support.
In a time when game makers and games coverage have faced hard struggles and layoffs, the future of this 30+ year magazine and community is at risk. Our new standalone magazine subscription is the number one way you can keep us alive – and we believe you’ll get a pretty fantastic gaming magazine in your mailbox every few weeks for your trouble.
Thank you.
