Rod Fergusson is departing from Blizzard as the general manager of the Diablo franchise after a five-year tenure. He announced his departure on social media without revealing his future plans. Fergusson joined Blizzard in 2020, successfully overseeing four major Diablo launches. His exit follows substantial layoffs within Microsoft's gaming division this summer, impacting Blizzard. In response to his announcement, Xbox head Phil Spencer praised Fergusson for his contributions to Diablo, highlighting the excitement of playing Diablo IV alongside him.
After five years driving the Diablo franchise with four big launches, it's time to step away from Blizzard/Microsoft, sword in hand, and see what's next.
You brought strength, hellfire, and vision to one of gaming's most iconic franchises. Playing Diablo IV with you was a blast-thanks for everything you gave to the game and the community.
