Neversoft goes out in style with huge knives and burning eyeballs

By Brenna Hillier

Tony Hawk and Guitar Hero developer Neversoft shut up shop today, but it did so in high style.

Neversoft is being folded into Infinity Ward to create one huge mega-studio, which will presumably be focused on the Call of Duty franchise for the immediate future.

Today was the team’s last day as a discrete unit, and it farewelled its old name in style. First, the ritual burning of the eye in its distinctive logo:

Then, gifts – each staffer received an enormous bowie knife.

This is what Joel gave all of @neversoft on their last day of the studio today. (Yoinked Mike's pic from FB) pic.twitter.com/LveyTOTYbH

Vale, Neversoft! Thank you for many years of great fun.

Thanks, Destructoid.
