At least five former Infinity Ward employees are confirmed to be working for ousted founders Vince Zampella and Jason West, according to LinkedIn.

As reported by G4, lead designer Todd Alderman, animator Mark Grisby, lead environmental artist Chris Cherubini, and software engineer Rayme C. Vinson are now listed on the business networking site as having joined Respawn Entertainment, the studio that the Infinity Ward founders announced earlier this month.

The news comes as little surprise after Respawn's announcement sparked a series of resignations, as previously reported.
