Craig Duncan appointed head of Midway Newcastle

Former Codemasters exec Craig Duncan has been appointed studio head for Midway's Newcastle studio, and will oversee the continued development of Wheelman, as well as any future projects undertaken.

Matt Booty, interim CEO and president of Midway following the departure of David Zucker earlier in the year, commented: "We are confident that Craig's strong background along with his creative and technical expertise will further enhance the quality of upcoming games like Wheelman."

Duncan's most recent role at Codemasters was as director for worldwide product development, and the Newcastle studio will continue to work closely with Midway's other studios in Chicago, Austin, Seattle and Los Angeles, sharing talent and technology.
