J.E. Sawyer Leaves Black Isle Studios

Today brings some grim news as J.E. Sawyer announced on the Interplay forums that he will be leaving Black Isle Studios. Here’s a full rip from his post:

I figured I’d post this here before DAC and NMA got the scoop! I am resigning from my position as lead designer at Black Isle Studios. I will not discuss those reasons here, but I will state that they are my reasons. I apologize to those who may be disappointed by my decision and congratulate those who rejoice at it. My last day will be November 21st.

From this point forward, I will not be discussing any aspect of Black Isle Studios projects that may be currently in development.

One can only hope he decided to join Obsidian Entertainment so we might yet see more of his work.
