Sledgehammer Games co-founders Michael Condrey and Glen Schofield have left the studio, but will remain with publisher Activision to pursue other projects.

Aaron Halon will take over as boss of Sledgehammer, and oversee the current DLC season of Call of Duty: WWII, the most recent title that Condrey and Schofield directed last year.

"Following the incredible success of Call of Duty: WWII, Glen Schofield and Michael Condrey have decided to transition from their duties at Sledgehammer Games to new executive duties inside Activision," read the statement from Activision.

We congratulate Aaron and are thrilled about the future of Sledgehammer Games, which we believe has even bigger days ahead."
