The father of World of Warcraft and Overwatch leaves Blizzard, the gaming community is disappointed

Jeff Kaplan leaves Blizzard after 19 years with him.

At a time when Blizzard’s big plans are approaching, an unhappy news for fans of this game company has appeared. Jeff Kaplan, the creator of World of Warcraft and Overwatch has officially left the company, ending more than 20 years of association.

“I am leaving Blizzard Entertainment after 19 great years,” Kaplan in a statement. “It is truly an honor of a lifetime to have the opportunity to create worlds and heroes that are loved by all. I want to express my deep gratitude to everyone at Blizzard who have supported my game. To those who stay, I would say never accept the world as it is. Always dare to look at it for what it can be. I hope you do the same.”

Joining Blizzard in 2000, Jeff Kaplan has become one of the greatest game developers in Blizzard history in particular and the world in general. He has great credit in designing and producing hit games such as Warcraft III: Reign of Chaos, World of Warcraft and especially Overwatch.

The departure of Jeff Kaplan leaves Blizzard fans extremely disappointed. While the following generations of developers did not make a big mark, the “big trees” left this company one after another. In the context of a series of promising Blizzard projects in development such as Overwatch 2 or Diablo IV, will they still retain their own substance like previous legends? Let’s wait and see.
