Vince Zampella, the groundbreaking game designer renowned for co-creating the globally celebrated Call of Duty series, has tragically passed away at the age of 55 following a car accident in California.

He played a key role in the development of Medal of Honor, a respected World War II shooter, along with the highly acclaimed Titanfall and Apex Legends. These games have not only defined the first-person shooter genre but have also inspired countless gamers and developers around the world.
