Mitch has been telling stories for more than a decade. He wrote about games as a critic and journalist for 25+ outlets before eventually joining #IGN as an Editor. He wrote original news, produced and hosted video shows, and shared behind-the-scenes stories about game development to an audience of more than 200 million.
In 2016 Mitch joined EA’s Motive Studios where he wrote for the AIAS-nominated Star Wars Battlefront II, as well as Star Wars: Squadrons and an unannounced AAA new IP. In 2020, he left Motive to become a full-time contract writer. During a pandemic. Like a fool. But I’m beyond excited to be working on more projects of varying sizes. Some day, I hope one of them is an immersive sim and/or TV show.
