Seven ex-Infinity Ward staff members have joined Respawn Entertainment.

Lead animators Mark Grisby and John Paul Messerly, as well as lead environmental artist Chris Cherubini, have been confirmed as joining the studio, according to G4.

Other staff members include lead designers Todd Alderman and Mackey McCandlish, programmer Jon Shiring and software engineer Rayme C. Vinson. They all start work on May 1.

The workers have departed Infinity Ward over the last few weeks.

Jason West and Vince Zampella founded new studio Respawn Entertainment in collaboration with EA following their dismissal from Infinity Ward by Activision.

Former production coordinator Jesse Heinig previously described Zampella as a "visionary in the most fundamental sense of the word".
