    A Red Dead Redemption series writer has now left Rockstar Games after long service at the company.

    GTAForums user Rucke recently revealed that the Red Dead Redemption series writer Michael Unsworth has now announced his departure from the studio. He has been in Rockstar Games for 16 years and now he has left. The reveal was spotted on his updated LinkedIn profile.

    It has been revealed that Unsworth had worked on virtually all of Rockstar’s major releases over the past 16 years. He has been one of the only three writers credited for both Red Dead Redemption games’ stories.

    The former writer has also worked on dialogue writing in Grand Theft Auto IV and V, Max Payne 3, LA Noire, Midnight Club: Lost Angeles, and many more games.

    Unsworth is the latest high-profile staff to depart Rockstar Games, which is now in its 24th year of operation. Other individuals who also departed the studio are GTA Writer and Producer Lazlow Jones who worked for nearly 20 years at the company, Rockstar’s Creative Lead Dan Houser left after more than 20 years, and Rockstar North President Leslie Benzies also left.
