Earlier today, Halo Infinite lead narrative designer Aaron Linde revealed that he would be leaving 343 Industries for a position at Riot Games. As you can see below, the announcement was made in a rather amusing way, as he used beloved anime Neon Genesis Evangelion’s classic “on the next episode” bookend to reveal where life was taking him next.

Alongside the clever “next time on” anime announcement of his departure, Linde also posted the following statement regarding his choice to move on to Riot Games.

Linde started working for 343 Industries back in 2019. Before that, he also spent time as a content writer for Gears of War, lead writer for Battleborne, and narrative designer for Guild Wars 2: Living World. He will be joining Riot Games’ research and development division.
