Borderlands Creator Leaves Gearbox Software

The creator of the Borderlands series of first person shooters, Matthew Armstrong, has left Gearbox Software.

Armstrong announced the news on Twitter, and in a statement to Game Informer gave the reasons for his departure:

"Pre-Sequel, Claptastic Voyage, and Handsome collection all shipped. In a rare moment, I was temporarily non-vital. I could leave without damaging Borderland or Gearbox too much if I did it at this moment, so now was the time. I think Gearbox will do great in the future, and I think Borderlands will stay strong and awesome. I've been thinking about it for a while. I'm not quitting out of anger or getting fired. It's just time for new adventures. I'm an inventor. I'm ready to make something new. Not just new to me, but new to everyone."
