Ian Bowden, the former art director of Rockstar, left the company to join the development of mobile and social games in the German studio GameDuell.
Ian Bowden founded Mobius Entertainment in 1997, and then joined the leadership of Rockstar in 2005. Over the past 10 years, as an art director, he has been involved in the creation of games such as GTA IV, GTA V, Max Payne 3 and L.A. Noire.
“After two decades in the field of hardcore gaming, I feel it’s time to dive headlong into the exciting business of creating social and mobile games,” Bowden commented on his decision.
Ian Bowden promised to make the style of GameDuell’s mobile projects more modern.
