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

It'll take substantial effort to rebuild my excitement with Blizzard's IPs, but this is great news. At least now I can hope that things might get better as opposed to before.

They already said there will be a 2023 BlizzCon. I don't know why you'd think otherwise.
