Brian Horton, who was publicly named as the creative director of Sony/Insomniac’s upcoming Marvel’s Wolverine PS5 game in 2021, has been off the project since the summer, two sources familiar with the matter told Game File.
The game is now being helmed by creative director Marcus Smith, a rep for Sony Interactive Entertainment has confirmed to Game File. Mike Daly will serve as Wolverine’s new game director.
As for Horton, who previously worked as the creative director on another lauded Insomniac game, Marvel’s Spider-Man: Miles Morales, he has already found a new high-profile gig.
He’s the new creative director of the Xbox-published Perfect Dark, the highly-anticipated first-person shooter that is being co-developed by Microsoft’s The Initiative and Embracer-owned Crystal Dynamics. Horton will be “bringing his wealth of experience to the upcoming reboot of the classic secret agent series,” an Xbox rep confirmed to Game File.
