Playdead's co-founder and CEO Dino Patti is leaving the company, having sold his shares to business partner Arnt Jensen.

"It's been amazing journey, where I've been lucky to work with some extremely talented people and partners," said Patti. "I feel that I'm leaving the company in a state where it can definitely manage itself, and I wish best of luck to Arnt and the rest of the team in the future."
