In a post on the [URL='https://worldofwarcraft.com/en-us/news/23891316/a-message-from-warcraft']World of Warcraft website[/URL], Warcraft general manager John Hight said “It is with great joy that I announce Chris Metzen has joined the Warcraft Leadership Team as Creative Advisor. Chris’s focus initially will be on World of Warcraft, then his work will expand to other projects across this growing franchise. “Chris was one of the original team members working on the Warcraft universe back when it began in 1994, and we are so happy to be reuniting him with the world he helped create.” [URL='https://www.ign.com/articles/2016/09/13/blizzards-chris-metzen-retires']Metzen left Blizzard in 2016[/URL] after an almost 23-year career with the company.
