Rod Fergusson joined Blizzard in 2020 after leaving Microsoft's The Coalition.Previously, he was involved in the development of all Gears of War games during his tenure at Microsoft and Epic Games.

Xbox chief Phil Spencer added: "You bring power, hellfire and vision to one of the most iconic series in the gaming world. It's great to play Diablo 4 with you - thank you for everything you've done for this game and the community."
