Bioshock developers switch jobs to microsoft

Bioshock Infinite Cover

As  per Superannuation and Kotaku,  Clint Bundrick(Irrational Games combat design director) and  Don Norbury(artificial intelligence lead) had both left the studio earlier this month to join Microsoft as confirmed in the linked in accounts of (Clint Bundrick and Don Norbury). 

After the departure of Gerritsen and Wells in August,it was announced by Irrational that the original BioShock art director, Scott Sinclair, would take over the role of Wells amid reports of multiplayer cancellations. Irrational later brought in  Rod Fergusson(Epic Games production director) to help complete the game. 

There are huge expectations from  BioShock Infinite. one analyst in August 2011 suggested that the game would be a do very well financially for take two and he also said that the game could  ship 4.9 million copies.
BioShock Infinite is set in a chaos-plagued airborne metropolis called Columbia. Gamers assume the role of Booker DeWitt, a former member of the feared Pinkerton National Detective Agency, which was the nation's largest security company in the late 19th century. 

Until now Bioshock has not disappointed and i dont think this one will either!
