Chris Metzen is a true Blizzard legend who spent 23 years at the company doing everything from creating tracks to voice acting. In 2016, however, he left the developer, due to performance anxiety and panic attacks among other things, to essentially retire and spend more time with his family, although he has dabbled in a few other things since then.
Now, however, it is clear that he is making a grand comeback by once again starting to work at Blizzard, first with World of Warcraft . On Twitter, Blizzard’s John Hight writes that Metzen has joined WoW management as a creative advisor, and that his role will later expand to more projects within the brand.
