2K has terminated the employment of Michael Condrey, the president of 31st Union

Michael Condrey, president of 31st Union, has reportedly been dismissed by 2K.

According to Kotaku, Condrey, a co-founder of Sledgehammer Games who joined 2K in 2019, was allegedly dismissed on February 3. The decision followed concerns that their long-anticipated multiplayer game, Project Ethos, did not generate sufficient enthusiasm.

Nonetheless, 2K expressed its strong commitment to both Project Ethos and the 31st Union team, appreciating Condrey's "dedication, passion, and work ethic."

As Condrey transitions, he will focus on advising regarding the future of Project Ethos. There is currently no information on who will assume Condrey's previous role at the studio, permanently or temporarily.

A spokesperson for 2K conveyed to Kotaku via email, “We are grateful to Michael Condrey for the dedication, passion and work ethic it took to build an incredible team and shape the vision of 31st Union.”

"In the short term, Michael will transition to advising on Project Ethos's future. Our commitment to the ongoing development of Project Ethos and maintaining the culture at 31st Union remains resolute," the spokesperson added.
