Eric Abent - Apr 20, 2021, 3:55pm CDT
It’s something of the end of an era over at Blizzard today, as Jeff Kaplan has announced that he’s leaving the company. Kaplan has been at the company for nearly 20 years, and got his start at Blizzard working as a designer and one of the game directors on
World of Warcraft and later its first two expansions,
The Burning Crusade and
Wrath of the Lich King. Kaplan is perhaps best known, however, as the lead game designer and game director on
Overwatch.
Kaplan’s departure was announced today in a news post to the Blizzard website. Neither Kaplan nor Blizzard revealed why he is leaving the company or what’s next for him, and his statement regarding his departure was somewhat short. You can read it in full below:
