Blizzard is undergoing a change at the top as longtime president Mike Morhaime is stepping down from his post.
Activision Blizzard announced the news early on Thursday and stated that Morhaime will remain “a strategic adviser to the company”, adding that Chief development officer Ray Gresko, and Blizzard founder Allen Adham have joined Blizzard’s executive leadership team.
“Blizzard was founded on the promise of making great games, and I plan to continue this fierce commitment to quality, our community, and our purpose. I couldn’t be more excited about what’s next given the strength of our pipeline,” said J. Allen Brack in a statement.
“After many years of working with some of the industry’s most talented people to create games and worlds for you to play in, I’ve decided it’s time for someone else to lead Blizzard Entertainment,” Morhaime said.
“I am grateful to all of the hardworking and talented people at Blizzard for their dedication and creativity. Their belief in our mission and care for our players has helped Blizzard reach greater heights than I ever could have imagined.”
