Overwatch chief writer Michael Chu leaves Blizzard 20 years later

Twenty years after working at Blizzard, Michael Chu, the lead author of Overwatch, announced that he was leaving the company.

Zhu Chu Ming has also worked as a writer in Diablo III and World of Warcraft.

According to a post on his personal blog, he plans to continue working in the gaming industry where he will continue to tell stories and "build a world that unites people through games" (thanks to Gamasutra).

"Twenty years ago, when I first walked into the door of Blizzard Entertainment, my only dream was to help make a game that spent countless hours in my life."

"From the battle between the Azeroth races in Warcraft to the human corruption caused by the pawns of eternal conflict in Diablo, I am lucky to tell the stories of these amazing universes and help them come to life. And I am very Fortunate to be able to meet and interact with the passionate global community that plays our games. "

In his blog post, Chu also discusses how Overwatch became a "life-changing experience" and his impression of the "compassion on others" story "about people who are different from them."

"Now when I last entered Blizzard's gates, I had a new dream: to continue telling these stories and build a world that unites people through games. To help create an inclusive world, let more people hope Share stories that reflect our own experiences. I hope this is something we can build together. "

Chu is also responsible for the forthcoming Overwatch 2.
