Former Naughty Dog developer Amy Hennig will be honored with the Lifetime Achievement Award at GDC early next year.
Hennig was a major creative force on the Uncharted franchise, directing the original game and serving as creative director on Uncharted 2: Among Thieves and Uncharted 3: Drake's Deception.
She left Naughty Dog in 2014 to join Visceral Games, where she worked on the ill-fated Star Wars project before its closure. She has since established her own independent studio.
Prior to joining Sony's favourite misbehaving pooch, Hennig worked at a number of developers, including Crystal Dynamics and Electronic Arts.
'Amy Hennig is a powerful figure in the game world; her work exemplifies what good game narrative can be, with pathos, humor, suspense and energy,' commented GDC's Katie Stern. 'She is truly one of the most influential developers in the games industry. These past accomplishments are just milestones in a career that we'll be following for years to come, but for one night at the GDCAs, we'll reflect on the hard work and artistry that makes game developers like Amy the heart of the industry.'
The Game Developers Choice Awards take place in March 2019.
