Amy Hennig has Joined Visceral Games to Work on a Star Wars Project

Amy Hennig was one of several developers in an entire series of layoffs and key developers that parted ways with Sony last month.

Just where did Hennig go to, after her departure from Sony’s Naughty Dog studio? She has returned to publisher giant EA, and she is already at the helm of a brand new project, she announced via twitter.

Specifically, Hennig has taken the creative director position at Visceral Games, where she will be helming a new Star Wars project.

“I vividly remember sitting in a theater with my buddy Matthew Rockloff in 1976, seeing the Star Wars trailer for the first time,” Amy said in a reminiscing tweet. “And feeling like the universe clicked into place for me in that moment.”

Hennig first started her career in the games industry within EA, almost 25 years ago.

“It might’ve taken me 23 years, but I’m back,” she said fondly, “and it’s good to be home.”
