We are saddened to announce the passing of our dear friend, colleague and 
long-term collaborator, Adam Duncan, the statement reads. Adam was a founding 
member of League of Geeks, respected art director, concept artist and 
animator. His stunning illustrations and character designs gave our projects

and gentle humility flowed throughout all his work, into our games, and into 
the hearts and minds of millions of players. 

Adam dedicated himself to his beloved craft and we consider ourselves so

Other League of Geeks employees have been paying tribute to Duncan on social 
media. Studio director Trent Kusters wrote : There arent many people you 
could envision working alongside every day for the rest of your life. Adam 
was one of them. A gentle giant, in stature, temperament and talent. What I 
would give for one more project, one more dinner, one more chat. Love you, 
buddy. 

League of Geeks co-founder and director Blake Mizzi described working with 
Duncan as an absolute privilege. He posted : I cherish the time we were flat 
mates and got to enjoy the simple things together. I struggle to believe 
you're gone.

friend and creative collaborator in life. He added : Despite his massive 
talent, he was a gentle, evolved human who naturally only considered the 
people around him.
