Co-Creator of Counter-Strike Joins Pearl Abyss to Work on New Game

Co-creator of Counter-Strike Minh "Gooseman" Le joined South Korean game developer Pearl Abyss this last week. Gooseman will not however be working on Black Desert Online and will instead focus his efforts on a new project. While Gooseman is a legendary name in gaming circles, he hasn't had much luck with his most recent gaming project, a tactical shooter called "Tactical Intervention" which shut down last year.

Minh "Gooseman" Le made the following comment upon joining Pearl Abyss:

I’m very excited to be a part of such a talented company. I was so impressed with the stunning graphics when I first saw Black Desert Online and it still never ceases to amaze me. I think being able to work in such an established company with so many resources will allow me to explore more game ideas in the future. Currently, I’m working on a new project and I’m hopeful that I can bring my 20 years of experience in game developing and a lot of the things that I’ve learned to the project. Honestly, I’m just very excited about what the future holds and grateful for the opportunity that Daeil Kim (Chairman of Pearl Abyss) has given me. I look forward to giving the company my best effort.

Kyung In Jung, CEO of Pearl Abyss, added:

We are thrilled to have Minh Le join us on our new project. We believe that he has a lot of experience and capabilities to bring to the company. Pearl Abyss will continue to actively recruit talented developers from all over the world.
