Browder Explains His Decision to Leave
According to reports, Browder announced the news on the forum of Battle.net and explains he had already started with the transition process and has transferred his responsibilities to Alan Dabiri, the former technical director. In his post, he shares it is not every day a good opportunity comes and says "I'm going to take one of those chances to try something new at Blizzard."
It was not disclosed what the new Blizzard project is about but he says it is something new that Blizzard is working on. It can be remembered that the director of 'World of Warcraft', Tom Chilton, also decided to give up his position to do another project. Reports claim Browder's new project has something to do with 'Overwatch' single-player mode.
Director Could Be Assigned to Do a New 'Diablo' Game
In one of the recent announcement of Blizzard, the company revealed they are working on various ideas with different groups to make the decision process faster and easier. This led fans to believe the two directors are working on separate new projects which could be announced anytime soon.
Both 'Heroes of the Storm' and 'Blizzard' have not released a statement about the issue but fans are assuming they will do anytime soon. Some fans are anticipating that one of the two director is assigned to work on a new installment for Diablo video game but everything is still a rumor until confirmed.
Some news claims that Chilton could be the director assigned to the game. It could be a 'Diablo 4' or a remake of 'Diablo 3' which was announced earlier but no updates has been given since then.
