In his first post as CEO, Brack announced that another co-founder, Allen Adham, will join Blizzard's executive team. Adham was lead designer of World of Warcraft but left the company right before that title's launch in 2004, only to return in 2016. And Ray Gresko, who worked on Overwatch and Diablo III, has been appointed chief development officer.
Blizzard, which is a subsidiary of Activision Blizzard, is one of the most important video game publishers in history. Its biggest hit is World of Warcraft, a massively multiplayer online role-playing game, which essentially re-defined the genre when it launched. WoW drew in millions of users and paved the way for numerous other similar titles which followed.
Blizzard has also been notoriously slow and pedantic with its game launches, but Brack gave a few hints new games are coming soon. He said that Adham will oversee the development of "several new games," and he also said the company will have "a few surprises" next month at its annual BlizzCon event.
