[Update] David Jaffe to Leave Eat Sleep Play After Twisted Metal Releases

[Update]

David Jaffe clarified his post Twisted Metal plans. Jaffe will in fact leave the company, but will do so possibly three months after Twisted Metal releases Feb.14.

“I’m still on TM along with ESP [Eat Sleep Play] for the next months as we launch it and balance it in real time and make sure it’s a perfect game and continue to support it,” Jaffe said in his posts on Twitter.

Jaffe plans on opening a new studio in San Diego, California after he leaves Ea Sleep Play. “I will be opening a game studio here in San Diego because I really miss internal game development,” Jaffe said.

There is no particular type of games his new studio will work on, according to Jaffe.

“I have no idea what game we’ll make yet. Could be iPhone, could be next-gen console,” Jaffe said.

[Original story]
David Jaffe, co-founder of Eat, Sleep, Play will leave the company once Twisted Metal releases later this month. The news comes as the studio announces a round of layoffs, affecting eight staffers among the company.

Eat, Sleep, and Play will focus on mobile games and iOS development after Twisted Metal. Co-founder of ESP, Bruce Campbell noted, “It’s a platform that is in our pockets almost 24/7. It’s kind of the size and types of games we’re playing. You can certainly reach a lot more people. That’s pretty exciting for us.”

The studio’s first game, Twisted Metal, is due for release next week on Playstation 3.
