[QUOTE="Admin, post: 54291, member: 1"] Fawzi Mesmar, DICE's head of design that worked on the Battlefield and Star Wars: Battlefront franchises, has decided to leave the company following the launch of Battlefield 2042.

Thank you for putting some faith in me, I hope I didn’t disappoint. "I have been made an offer I couldn’t refuse at another company that has been kind enough to wait for me until we have shipped [Battlefield 2042]. It was super important to me to be here with the team as we achieve this historical milestone. "While Oskar [Gabrielson, studio GM] and myself have been discussing my succession plans for some time – and it will be announced in due course – we opted to delay this communication till after launch to keep the focus – rightfully so – on the game we’ve been putting a monumental amount of effort on.” Mesmar's official final day will be November 26 and his currently unknown next position will also be based in Stockholm, Sweden.
