Jay Wilson is leaving Diablo 3 team to work “on something new”
1/18/13 4:30pm
The director of last year’s polarizing dungeon crawler Diablo 3 is leaving the game behind. In a blog post he announced that after 7 years with the franchise he is “looking forward to working on something new". As for the game and its critics, Jay Wilson had this to say about the departure
"I'm proud of Diablo 3, and despite our differences at times I will miss the community that has formed around it… I feel I have made many mistakes in managing that relationship, but my intent was always to provide a great gaming experience, and be as open and receptive as possible, while still sticking true to the vision the Diablo team has for the game.”
"I'm leaving Diablo III in good hands, and my departure will not jeopardize the progress of the game as we continue to do what we do: listen, play, and improve.”
He did not mention what game he will be moving on to, but my money is on Project Titan. With Blizzard trying to create an MMO to succeed World of Warcraft, they’ll need all hands on deck.
