Character Artist Raf Grassetti Leaves Sony Santa Monica

Ex-Studio Art Director has parted ways with the God of War developer after nearly 10 years.

Last week, Character Artist Raf Grassetti revealed that he is parting ways with the God of War developer Sony Santa Monica after nearly a decade of working there.

Over the course of his career, Raf has actively contributed to the progression of Santa Monica's God of War series. He began back in 2013 as a Lead Character Artist for God of War and continued his creative journey as an Art Director for God of War: Ragnarök. In November 2022, he ascended to the position of Studio Art Director.

Taking to Twitter to make the announcement, Raf expressed his gratitude to Sony Santa Monica, acknowledging their significant influence on his professional growth and expressing appreciation for the numerous opportunities he has had the privilege to experience. Additionally, the creator promised to unveil further updates about his forthcoming plans later this week.

"Today is my last day at Sony after over a decade of being a part of this incredible journey. It's bittersweet, but above all, I am overwhelmed with gratitude for the countless opportunities I've been fortunate to have," reads the announcement. "Sony has been my second home, and I'm immensely grateful to be involved so deeply with God of War. The skills I've learned, and the deep connections I've formed with incredible people will stay with me forever. I am extremely confident in the studio's continued success, and I hope we can create together again in the future."
