Giant Bomb editor Alex Navarro, head of video Vincent Caravella, and senior editor Brad Shoemaker will be leaving the publication on May 7.
They made the announcement live in the latest episode of Giant Bomb s podcast, with the publication s co-founder Jeff Gerstmann later talking to sister site GameSpot about the situation. I ve spent a lot of the last year thinking about what s next for Giant Bomb and most of those roads lead to a full-on rethink of what it means to be a Website About Video Games in 2021, he said. While I certainly would have loved to solve these challenges with my longtime friends and coworkers by my side, it just wasn t meant to be. I wish Vinny, Alex, and Brad the best.
