The annoucement was made by Nicholas on LinkedIn.
After 15 years, I’ve stepped away from my role at Epic.
I’m proud of the part I was able to play in Unreal Engine’s evolution from UE3 to where it stands today. It’s remarkable to see how far the engine has come, how much the community has grown, and all the incredible games and experiences developers have created with it.
Most of all, I’m proud of the team we built: the most talented, passionate, and extraordinary group of engine and game developers I could have hoped to work alongside.
I wish Epic and the team all the best, and I look forward to seeing what they build next!
It appears the split was amicable but he's now not the only serior Unreal Engine developer that has recently left after Sjoerd left and the end of June.
