Rafael Grassetti, the distinguished art director who made his mark in the world of video games through his work on the critically acclaimed action-adventure games God of War (2018) and God of War Ragnarök, recently announced his joining of the renowned company Naughty Dog. This announcement was made via an official post on social media platforms, where Grassetti shared this new step with his audience.

This move comes shortly after a brief stint at Netflix, where he held the position of art director. During his time there, Grassetti was working on building a new game studio and developing a large-scale, high-budget game aimed for a multi-platform release. However, the project did not last more than a year, as his departure last October coincided with the closure of Netflix's game studio known as Team Blue.

Before joining Netflix, Grassetti spent about 11 years at Sony, where he played a pivotal role in developing popular games. Among his most notable works during that period was his art direction on the new God of War series, in addition to his involvement in developing games such as Killzone: Shadow Fall, Infamous: Second Son, and The Order: 1886. This long history reflects his great talent and his clear impact on the gaming industry.

Although he announced his joining of Naughty Dog, Grassetti has not yet revealed the project he will be working on with the company. All he shared in his announcement was the phrase "beginning of a new chapter," which sparks excitement and anticipation about the role he will play in Naughty Dog's upcoming projects. Given his impressive track record, we can expect him to have a significant impact on a new game to be added to the company's distinguished record.
