Chris Metzen Becomes New WoW’s Executive Creative Director

Chris Metzen has been appointed as the Executive Creative Director of WoW.

Before he left Blizzard in 2016, Metzen dedicated 23 years of his career to the company. He held the esteemed position of Senior Vice President of Story and Franchise Development. Because of personal reasons, he chose to step away from the organization. After a six-year hiatus, he made a welcomed return in 2022, rejoining the company as a Creative Advisor.

Fast forward to September 2023. It’s time for him to embrace his new Executive Creative Director role. As in the past, his unwavering focus remains dedicated to the WoW franchise and its future.
