Stephan Frost, the former Design Producer of WildStar, has found a new job with none other than Blizzard. He will now have a significant influence on the future of World of Warcraft.
“… and this is DevSpeak!”
Most players will remember Stephan Frost from the various DevSpeak videos of WildStar. He was long regarded as the voice and face of Carbine’s SciFi MMORPG WildStar. Shortly after the game’s release, he announced that he would change employers due to a fantastic offer – which many players took quite badly.
Now, almost a year later, after a brief interlude at Amazon, he is switching again: this time to Blizzard, as the new Design Producer of World of Warcraft. His first day at the game developer was “overwhelming” – let’s hope that this enthusiasm will also reflect in the future of the game.
