Blizzard devs in the dark for now as president of the World of Warcraft and Diablo studio says they "can expect to hear more" soon about Microsoft's plan for the studio as Xbox faces 3,200 job cuts

An orc from World of Warcraft roars at the screen.

Amid serious layoffs going on at Xbox, there have been concerns over what'll happen at Blizzard, since it was acquired by Microsoft in a landmark deal in 2023. So far, it seems the studio behind World of Warcraft and Overwatch is safe from heavy redundancies, though an internal memo suggests there'll be more updates for the company further down the line.

Windows Central managed to get hold of an email from the desk of Johanna Faries, the president of Blizzard, who addressed concerns to staff. "While you can expect to hear more details regarding the day's events and what they mean for Blizzard in further communications, for now I simply want to acknowledge that today is a difficult day that impacts many people in a range of ways," the dispatch says.
