Kim Swift, lead designer on Portal, has joined Xbox Game Studios to work on its publishing programme.
While Swift will now be part of Xbox, Motive was in the headlines earlier today for its reported work on the revival of a beloved EA franchise.
At Motive, Swift worked on Amy Hennig’s cancelled Star Wars game codenamed Ragtag, and then later Star Wars Battlefront 2.
After contributions to Half-Life 2’s episodes and Left 4 Dead 2, Swift left Valve to release 2012 puzzle platformer Quantum Conundrum, published by Square Enix.
