Craig Hubbard was the creative director of NOLF series

[Vanadium]

And also other Monolith works of art like Shogo, Aliens vs. Predator 2 and FEAR. He also contributed heavily with his work on other Monolith games that seemingly were not his main assignment, like the Blood series, Tron 2.0 and  and FEAR 2.

I state this with some caution, as it's complicated to get certain info about credits other than looking at MobyGames or look for them inside the games themselves. He was never a "star dev", like other minor celebrities Cliff Bleszinski, John Carmack, Vince Zampella...

He's been working at Tencent owned Swedish studio Sharkmob for a long time and was/is game director of Bloodhunt.

News coming from that quarter are less than promising..

Bloodhunt servers closing April 28, 2026
A farewell to Bloodhunt

After four unforgettable years together in Prague, the sun will finally rise on Bloodhunt.

We have made the difficult decision to close the Bloodhunt servers on April 28, 2026. Until then, the game remains fully playable, and you can continue to enjoy your nights in Prague with friends and foes alike.

As of now, token purchases are disabled, but the store remains open to let you spend your tokens until the servers go offline.

Read the full announcement here: https://bloodhunt.com/en-us/news/bloodhunt-servers-will-close-on-april-28-2026.

Thank you for your passion, your battles in the shadows, and the memories we shared. They will always be a part of what made Bloodhunt special.

Tencent-owned studio Sharkmob has confirmed planned job losses at its Malmo studio, which is currently working on sci-fi extraction shooter Exoborne. The company's London studio was effectively closed in 2024, after local staff were made redundant following the cancellation of an unannounced game.

In a statement, Sharkmob said that "planned changes to its organizational structure" were taking place against the backdrop of "a challenging environment for games developers".

Does anyone know what he's up to? Did anyone here ever met the mind behind NOLF at a games convention or any other place?
