It is with great joy that I announce Chris Metzen has joined the Warcraft Leadership Team as Creative Advisor. Chris’s focus initially will be on World of Warcraft, then his work will expand to other projects across this growing franchise.

Chris was one of the original team members working on the Warcraft universe back when it began in 1994, and we are so happy to be reuniting him with the world he helped create.

John Hight
General Manager, Warcraft

    I'm actually surprized none of the main websites showed it in the news (i.e. WoWhead, MMO-Champ etc).

    This is great news.

    Wow, thats pretty awesome, that makes me smile... Hope he can do the crowd hypes at conventions again. No doubt his board game company is gonna be a side project for him.

    Surprised though wouldn’t have seen this coming, god knows return to thrall centric story’s can only be an improvement after shadowlands.

    This bits important, as roles like that to me sound more like a consultant, so its likely hes still doing his boardgame business but Blizz can approach him with a paid role for what is fuck up direction or not.

    Honestly, anything is an improvement over Shadowlands. Advise away.

    Considering he used to be in control of all the lore etc. hopefully he can slap Danuser a bit around and bring back some sense.

    Nice, nice! I can't wait for Thrall to destroy the Void Lords with Kamehameha 2.0 while the Alliance are relegated to spying on someone using a robotic cat.

    I'm not that overhyped with Metzen returning but I remain grateful for his work on his old games. I hope he can help to get WoW back on track. I would have loved to see him work on another project though, WoW is kinda dried out for him to work on.

    Also please don't return Thrall again...

    The main benefit of this is that people who haven't been put through SC2 or Diablo 3's plot will be less able to go on and on about how Metzen not being there as a guiding light is the reason the story blows goats.
