World of Warcraft is looking for 41 employees - replacement for Hazzikostas?

The team ofWorld of Warcraft grows. Whave 41 new people are looking for. Does more content come?

In the last few days and weeks, Blizzard is about the big scandal to the corporate culture. But in game development, the wheels are still not quiet. The World of Warcraft's team is seeking massive reinforcement and is looking for 41 new employees - 3 alone for the "Combat Team". (Via Blizzard.com)

What is especially looking for? It is interesting that from the almost 40 job offers 3 should deal exclusively with the fight system. The new employees should therefore worry about the "behind-going mathematics", so about balancing. At the same time one of the newcomers should deal primarily with the PVP, which probably likes some PVP fans.

The team around the combat mechanics is currently led by Brian Holinka, who lost a few words to the positions on Twitter.

Why are new people are looking for? Many suspected the first moment that numerous employees had left the World of Warcraft's team in the course of the sexism and discrimination scandal at Blizzard.

But that's not the case, as Holinka explains on Twitter. On the question of whether the replacement is for possible departure, Holinka explained:

Good question. That's to let the team grow.

It is therefore apparently all new jobs, the team around World of Warcraft grows.

Is Game Director Ion Hazzikostas a successor?

Another, interesting point is the search for an "Associate Game Director". This is one of the highest items that can give the game development. Currently the Game Director Ion Hazzikostas is. In recent years, he had the march direction in World of Warcraft and had the last word in the great design decisions.

IS 9.1 A GOOD DIRECTION? Reacting to NEW INTERVIEW with Game Director Ion Hazzikostas!

What is supposed to say? In the subreddit by World of Warcraft, the players suspect that Ion Hazzikostas would like to give his post as a Game Director of World of Warcraft in the coming years and therefore seeks an "Associate Game Director" who learns about him And later can take his role.

However, this is not confirmed and it would also be conceivable that the Associate Game Director should simply take a long-term supportive function to continue to manage the ever-increasing developer team.

More news about Blizzard is here:

  • Diablo 4 should be a game for several years
  • There are 2 new Warcraft games and Blizzard is already testing you internally
  • J. Allen Brack leaves Blizzard for sexism scandal

What does that mean for the players? For the current players of World of Warcraft, this means everything more content, more pronouncements and possibly more frequent balance patches to react faster to problems.

But even if all the open jobs are occupied, it is likely to take months or even years for the players to know about the results - maybe in the next extension to Shadowlands. That has been confirmed for a long time.
