He then joined Kuju Entertainment Ltd as Project Manager on “Battalion Wars”, subsequently working on the early stages of “Battalion Wars 2”, plus an unannounced Wii game and the final stages of a PC game called “The Regiment”.
Mat joined Ninja Theory in early 2006, taking the role of Producer on Heavenly Sword, a PlayStation3 exclusive published by SCEE. He is responsible for the project overall and works hard with his team of Leads to deliver the best quality game possible in the timescales permitted.
Mat is now the Head of Production at Ninja Theory and has recently delivered Heavenly Sword across multiple SKUs.
When he’s not working Mat loves spending time with his family. He also plays a ton of pen and paper roleplaying games and coming from Essex, he isn’t afraid of being a called a geek.
