UPDATE 15/3/21: Former WB Games developer Troy Leavitt has now, as promised, released his own video discussing his departure from Hogwarts Legacy studio Avalanche Software. It s an edited recording of a farewell Zoom call to former colleagues, in which he also shared his resignation letter.
In the letter, Leavitt wrote that he left the studio largely due to a family matter which WB Games had been helping him manage over the past year. Unfortunately, things on that front have seriously deteriorated since the beginning of February, Leavitt said, I now see the situation as chronic and likely to be high maintenance into the foreseeable future.
