Major shake-ups are underway at Blizzard, as Diablo general manager Rod Fergusson has revealed his impending exit from both the studio and Microsoft after half a decade leading the franchise.

Fergusson broke the news via social platforms, shown here:

Xbox head Phil Spencer expressed his congratulations and gratitude in a subsequent message:

In case you missed it, Rod Fergusson earned his reputation on the Gears of War saga—widely seen as a key architect of its debut success—while his recent years were consumed by Diablo IV as his primary endeavor.

As of this moment, no explanation has been offered regarding why Fergusson is relinquishing the GM position.
