Diablo III senior producer departs Blizzard

The senior game producer of Blizzard’s upcoming Diablo III has left the company with immediate effect.

Announcing his departure on Twitter, Steven Parker said he’d had a “great five years” at the gaming giant, but did not disclose why he had left.

"Hey Twitter, I'm no longer working at Blizzard or on D3,” he said.

“I've had a great five years there and those guys are going to kill it with Diablo.”

Parker joined Blizzard in 2006 from California based Battle Realms developer Liquid Entertainment, where he held the position of producer.
