Todd Papy, the director of God of War: Ascension, has left Sony Santa Monica Studios for Crytek in Frankfurt to work on an unannounced game. 

The news was revealed by a change in Papy's Twitter bio which now reads: "Game Director at Crytek on an unannounced project."

Papy joined Sony as a senior designer in 2006, before becoming design director on 2008's God of War 3 and then game director on Ascension which was released earlier this year.
