Would you kindly allow me to share some news?
I’m returning to 2K as Head of the BioShock Franchise, leading Cloud Chamber!
I’m deeply grateful for the work the studio has done so far, and I’m committed to building a BioShock game we’ll be proud of and that our players will love.

After five years driving the Diablo franchise with four big launches, it’s time to step away from Blizzard/Microsoft, sword in hand, and see what’s next. I’m proud of what we’ve built and excited for what’s ahead for Diablo, and for me.
My level 30 Necromancer turned in their first Whisper and got a Ring of Mendeln! I will take that. It might not last long but I'll enjoy it while I can. Now to find those new gloves... #DiabloIV #Season9

TFW you say the word "out" in a meeting and someone identifies not only the country you're from, but also the province.
Another reason I'm excited about Season 8! #DiabloIV
Go on…
Brent Gibson, Game Director on Diablo 4, got a chance to chat with Rhykker regarding the roadmap. You can check it out here!

5 years at Blizzard and I finally have my sword! #Diablo
On my drive back to Irvine I finished listening to "Tress of the Emerald Sea (Dramatized Adaptation)" by Brandon Sanderson and it was fantastic! Going to check for dramatized adaptations for all my audio books moving forward.
Can't wait for next week! I mean who doesn't want things like a tornado of piranhas, fire bats or a giant frog helping them?

2024 had a lot of highs but I’m not going to forget it’s the year that skin cancer took its shot at me. Hoping you all have a safe and healthy 2025!
Lastly, I want to thank our Diablo team. An “ongoing game” means you don’t just ship once, but that you’re constantly shipping. And over the last 18 months they have done just that to make Diablo IV the best it’s ever been and there’s lots more to come. Thank you.
Speaking of support, I’d also like to thank everyone who supports us at Blizzard. As we say “it takes a Blizzard to make a Blizzard game”...
I would like to take this moment to thank our players. When you release an “ongoing game” like this, it becomes a true collaboration with your players and we’re extremely thankful for their feedback and support...
It was an honor to be nominated for “Best Ongoing Game” at the TGAs. Congrats to Helldivers 2 for their win! I would like to take this moment to share some gratitude...
Great question - let me find out!
Can't wait!
Before the craziness of launch day tomorrow, I just wanted to say "Congratulations!" to GGG for their Early Access release of Path of Exile 2! My pre-download is finished and I'm looking forward to playing over the holidays. Now to figure out what class to play...

Blizzard Holiday Party tomorrow and if this is Thanksgiving poutine then my diet is in real trouble -
No surprise on my #1 Xbox game of 2024 - Diablo IV!
#XboxYearInReview
An episode per week or so. Bite size pieces. :)
Is it weird that I'm watching Arcane as slowly as possible so that it's not over too soon?
Thank you! I hope you had a good one!
Happy Thanksgiving to everyone that celebrates!
Thankful for family, friends and the folks I get to work with every day!
This year's nominations for The Game Awards are in, and there's a lot to talk about. Blizzard's Rod Fergusson calls in to chat about the current state of Diablo IV. Plus, our Avowed preview and early thoughts on STALKER 2.
