Borderlands 2 creative director Paul Hellquist has left Gearbox Software to work on Orcs Must Die, a pretty big departure from Borderlands.
The Borderlands veteran has joined Robot Entertainment. Hellquist will serve as Robot’s lead designer, and will kick off with Orcs Must Die Unchained.
“I spent a considerable amount of time with Paul recently, and I was consistently impressed with his breadth of thinking, passion for great design, and humility,” Robot CEO Patrick Hudson wrote in an announcement post.
“His remarkable portfolio of work is clearly well-earned. Paul is a great fit for Robot, and I expect him to have a profound impact on the games we make.”
