Walt Williams

Walt Williams is originally from Louisiana and attended Baylor University in Texas on an Air Force scholarship, fully prepared to become a military chaplain. Quickly realizing the regimented, religious life was not for him, he moved to New York to pursue a writing career and took a job at 2K Games, one of the largest video game publishers in the world. Although he'd intended the job to be only a temporary bill-paying situation, Walt quickly fell in love with the potential of interactive storytelling, and has been working in the industry ever since. Over the past ten years he rose from entry-level game analyst to senior writer, walking the line between publisher and developer, helping bring life to such beloved franchises as Bioshock, Civilization, Borderlands, Mafia, The Darkness, and the acclaimed, genre-bending Spec Ops: The Line.
