The man who pushed for World of Warcraft’s PvP scene to become bigger and better than before is no longer leading the team. Lead PvP Designer Brian Holinka announced on the forums that he is leaving WoW to work on an unnamed Blizzard project.
“A few weeks ago, I was offered a new opportunity at Blizzard that I’m really excited about,” Holinka posted. “Tomorrow is my last day working on World of Warcraft. As a longtime player, I couldn’t be more excited about what the future has in store for World of Warcraft. In particular, the PvP team remains hard at work on some incredible plans. I fully expect that the best years of World of Warcraft PvP are ahead of us.”
Holinka thanked both fans and the company, saying that working on World of Warcraft was a “dream come true.” The rumor is that he has been snatched up by the internal team that’s creating a top-secret game or expansion for the studio.
