The gaming industry mourns the passing of another stellar talent in the industry this week. Gordon Hall, who helped found Rockstar Leeds in 1997, was instrumental in a number of Rockstar projects, and was a chief creative officer of Activision Blizzard’s mobile department recently passed away. He was 51 years of age and is survived by his son, James Hall. The news of Gordon Hall’s passing came recently out of the Yorkshire development scene where he was active, as reported by GamesIndustry.biz. Hall got his start in founding Möbius Entertainment in 1997. After working on Game Boy ports of Rockstar titles with the company, it would acquire Möbius, rebranding it to Rockstar Leeds. From there, Gordon Hall oversaw the likes of Grand Theft Auto spinoff titles including Liberty City Stories, Vice City Stories, and Chinatown Wars. He also lent expertise to the development of Red Dead Redemption and L.A. Noire. Gordon Hall went on sabbatical to study microtransactions from 2011 to 2013, but returned to the industry soon after. He was chief creative officer at Activision Blizzard Mobile before his passing.
