What is Wizards of the Coast’s loss is ArenaNet’s gain.
Michael Yichao announced on Twitter yesterday that he was leaving the Dungeons & Dragons company to take up a position as narrative designer for Guild Wars 2 at the end of June. Previously, he worked on lore and stories for Magic: The Gathering.
In addition to being a writer, Yichao’s portfolio includes performing improv comedy, developing plays, and being a teaching artist. You can read some of his short stories that he produced for Magic: The Gathering over on Wizards’ site.
Yesterday we reported that Guild Wars 2’s June feature pack will be centered around the game’s competitive PvP and WvW scene.
