Zenimax Online Studios president Matt Firor has announced his intention to step down, following layoffs at the company and the cancellation of its upcoming MMO.
Posted in a statement to social media via the official Zenimax Online Studios account, Firor wrote the following: “After more than 18 years leading ZeniMax Online Studios, I’ll be stepping away later this month.
“The studio and The Elder Scrolls Online will be in great hands under the direction of new Studio Head, Jo Burba along with Executive Producer, Susan Kath and Game Director, Rich Lambert. Together, this leadership team has spearheaded many of ESO’s biggest ideas and expansions and will continue to make this game something we’re all proud of.
“While I won’t be working on the game anymore, I will be cheering you on and adding to the thousands of hours I’ve already spent in-game. There are many more stories to be told, adventures to be had, and I know this amazing community will carry that shared legacy and success forwards.”
