Direktur Overwatch Jeff Kaplan Meninggalkan Blizzard Setelah Hampir 20 Tahun Bersama Perusahaan

Overwatch director Jeff Kaplan is leaving Blizzard after more than 19 years with the company. Kaplan’s departure was announced via a blog post on Blizzard’s site, along with a personal note from Kaplan himself. 18-year Blizzard veteran Aaron Keller, who was also a founding member of the Overwatch team, will be stepping up to the director role. Both Keller and Kaplan have worked closely together in their tenure at Blizzard, both on Overwatch dan World of Warcraft sebelum itu.

Kaplan’s note to the Overwatch community doesn’t specify his reason for leaving the company or where he’s headed to next on his journey, and this leadership change seems to be effective immediately.

Saya meninggalkan Blizzard Entertainment setelah 19 tahun yang luar biasa.

Benar-benar suatu kehormatan seumur hidup untuk memiliki kesempatan menciptakan dunia dan pahlawan bagi penonton yang begitu bersemangat. Saya ingin menyampaikan penghargaan mendalam saya kepada semua orang di Blizzard yang mendukung permainan kami, tim permainan kami, dan para pemain kami. Namun saya ingin mengucapkan terima kasih khusus kepada para pengembang game luar biasa yang berbagi perjalanan penciptaan dengan saya.

Jangan pernah menerima dunia sebagaimana adanya. Selalu berani melihatnya apa adanya. Saya harap Anda melakukan hal yang sama.

gg,

Jeffrey Kaplan

Kaplan was arguably wajah Overwatch untuk komunitas, and he was the recipient of both the community’s love and ire, spawning countless memes, and ever passionate in his appreciation of the people who played Overwatch . As one of the founding fathers of the game, Kaplan has played a critical role in its development and evolution.

Keller also issued a note to the community about the leadership change, reassuring fans that Overwatch has always been a group effort, and that while they’ll miss Kaplan, the Overwatch team is confident the franchise is still in good hands. As a founding member of the Overwatch team, Keller exhibits just as much passion for the hero shooter as Kaplan.

He also mentioned that development on Overwatch 2 continues at a “good pace,” with more frequent updates about the game’s progress to come “very soon.”

Berbicara tentang Overwatch 2, pengembangan berlanjut dengan kecepatan yang baik. Kami memiliki visi luar biasa yang kami laksanakan, reaksi banyak dari Anda terhadap pembaruan yang kami bagikan di BlizzConline sangat menggetarkan kami, dan kami memiliki rencana pengungkapan menarik untuk tahun ini dan seterusnya saat kami bersiap untuk meluncurkannya. Kami akan segera membagikan pembaruan lebih sering tentang kemajuan Overwatch 2 dan fitur-fitur baru dalam pertandingan langsung kepada Anda.

Kaplan’s departure from Blizzard is the end of an era, but he seems to leave behind a passionate team excited about bringing the next chapter of Overwatch to fans and players. We wish Kaplan the best, and we’ll keep you updated about where his journey takes him next.
