The California Highway Patrol says Zampella was driving near Los Angeles around 1 p.m. Sunday when the crash killed him at the scene; a passenger was ejected and later died in hospital. Zampella co-founded Infinity Ward, launched Call of Duty in 2003, and later created Respawn Entertainment hits like Titanfall, Apex Legends, and Star Wars Jedi games. Tributes poured in from studios like Respawn, which called him a ‘titan,’ and friends like Geoff Keighley and Hideo Kojima, who remembered his bold creativity and personal support.
