Diablo general manager Rod Fergusson has resigned from Blizzard Entertainment to “see what’s next.”
Fergusson confirmed the news on his Twitter/X account. In the message, he didn’t give a reason but said he was proud of the work on the Diablo franchise.
“After five years of driving the Diablo franchise forward with four big launches, it’s time for me to step away from Blizzard/Microsoft, sword in hand, and see what’s next,” he wrote. “The teams are set up for success, with an exciting slate of releases ahead. I’m incredibly proud of what we’ve built together and looking forward to what comes next for Diablo, and for me.”
Fergusson made a name for himself at Epic Games while working on the Gears of War franchise, and he headed Microsoft’s The Coalition game studio focused on the Gears franchise. He joined Blizzard in 2020 and helped get Diablo 4 to market.
