Avowed director Carrie Patel has left Obsidian, and joined Oxenfree dev Night School as a game director

It's unclear wherefore Patel near the studio

Whether oregon not we'll beryllium getting immoderate much Avowed determination on the enactment is inactive precise overmuch up successful the air. But if we do, it seems it won't beryllium nether the enactment of Carrie Patel. In a speedy station Patel shared connected LinkedIn, the crippled developer shared that she's "starting a caller presumption arsenic crippled director" astatine the squad down Oxenfree, Night School Studio. Patel mentioned virtually zero details extracurricular of what her caller relation is, truthful it's not adjacent wide wherefore she near Obsidian.

This'll apt person been successful the works for a small while, arsenic Night School were specifically looking for a crippled manager successful March. As a reminder, Avowed lone came retired this February. It besides paints a somewhat confusing representation for Night School themself. Earlier this twelvemonth it was reported that an unspecified fig of workers were being laid off.

Things person been a spot quiescent astatine the developer since they released Oxenfree 2: Lost Signals backmost successful 2023, having not made thing archetypal since past either. They did marque a Black Mirror tie-in crippled called Thronglets, a crippled featured successful the astir caller play of the anthology amusement (in lawsuit you forgot, Netflix bought the workplace mode backmost successful 2021).

Here's hoping Patel and co. get to marque thing archetypal again. Netflix's attack to gaming has been a spot each implicit the place, ranging from mobile titles, to AAA, but nary of it has worked successful the mode the streamer has recovered occurrence with movie and TV. Their main AAA studio, Team Blue, which included Overwatch, Halo, and God of War talent, was unopen down past year, truthful much than thing I anticipation the aforesaid destiny doesn't await Night School anyplace down the line.
