2K Lets Go of 31st Union President Michael Condrey

Michael Condrey, president of 31st Union, has been dismissed by 2K, according to recent reports. Condrey, who co-founded Sledgehammer Games and joined 2K in 2019, was allegedly released from his position on February 3 due to concerns that the highly anticipated online multiplayer game Project Ethos was not generating sufficient interest. Despite this development, 2K has stated that it remains deeply invested in both Project Ethos and 31st Union, expressing gratitude to Condrey for his tireless efforts and unwavering dedication. As part of the transition, Condrey will shift his focus towards providing strategic guidance on the future direction of Project Ethos. The details regarding his replacement, whether interim or permanent, have not been disclosed. In a statement to Kotaku, a 2K spokesperson expressed appreciation for Condrey's contributions, saying, "We appreciate the hard work, passion, and commitment Michael Condrey brought to building a remarkable team and shaping the vision of 31st Union. He will be transitioning to an advisory role, focusing on the future of Project Ethos, and we remain fully committed to the project's forward trajectory and the well-being of the 31st Union studio."
