Former VALORANT game director joins Bungie, ramping up new competitive shooter speculation

Former VALORANT game director Joe Ziegler, one of the first and most prominent figures behind the successful multiplayer shooter’s development, has joined Destiny 2 developer Bungie as a game director and could potentially lead the development in Bungie’s next competitive shooter project.

Ziegler is credited with coming up with the idea of developing VALORANT while he and other designers were theorizing other Riot titles, according to an interview with Polygon back in 2020. Ziegler eventually took on the game director role for VALORANT until December 2022 and has now landed at Bungie.
