A few weeks later, Blizzard announced that Heroes of the Storm game director Alan Dabiri would be transitioning to a currently unrevealed position within the company.
Today, we have even more news of Blizzard team members taking on new(ish) roles. Blizzard dev Brian Holinka is returning to work on World of Warcraft. I say “returning” because while Holinka never left Blizzard, he did leave behind his position as Lead PvP developer for the popular MMO last year to work on an unannounced project for the company.
This past weekend, Holinka revealed via Twitter that he’s returning to World of Warcraft.
According to Holinka’s LinkedIn page, he won’t be picking up his old role of Lead PvP developer but will instead be WoW’s new Lead Combat designer. What this transition means for the other project he was working on is anyone’s guess. It will also be interesting to see if any of these changes affect BlizzCon, which is taking place in less than two weeks.
