Donald Mustard looks forward to spending more time with his wife and family.

Mustard co-founded ChAIR Entertainment Group in May 2005. Epic Games acquired that company in May 2008, and Mustard didn’t change jobs in the process but has been able to move up the ranks, taking the chief creative officer position in July 2016. This promotion also impacted Fortnite, a popular game today, especially among younger generations.

Mustard confirmed his departure and the reason for it on Twitter: “After an incredible adventure, I will be retiring from my role as chief creative officer at Epic this month. I have enjoyed nearly 25 years in the game industry, collaborating with some of the most talented people ever, and I am so proud of what we have made together. From the ambitious Advent Rising to the start of ChAIR, where we created Undertow, Shadow Complex, and the Infinity Blade trilogy, to the honor of our tiny team becoming part of Epic, each new chapter allowed me to accomplish something new and original. I am incredibly proud of my opportunity to help create and shape Fortnite.

I am humbled to have been a part of the team that every day tries to bring ‘joy and delight’ to the Fortnite community! We love watching you experience every moment—leaping from the Battle Bus for the very first time, seeing the rocket crack open the sky, dancing with friends after a Victory Royale, being sucked into a black hole, or being washed out to sea as The Island flipped over—and on and on! I can’t wait to now share in the future of Fortnite as a player alongside all of you! The teams are in the best hands, working on huge, jaw-dropping, amazing things! I’m excited to spend time with my wife and family and am forever grateful for Tim Sweeney and the Epic Games family,” Mustard wrote.

We wish all the best to Mustard, who has a slightly unfortunate name (his successor better not be called Ketchup).
