Johnny Cash Returns to Blizzard Entertainment

Four years after his departure from Blizzard Entertainment, former Senior Game Designer Johnny Cash has announced his return as a Principal Designer on the World of Warcraft development team!

Originally joining as an intern during the development of Cataclysm, Cash's first 12 years with Blizzard Entertainment were celebrated with achievement, developing a wide range of expansion features including Pet Battles, Garrison outposts, Class Halls, and Artifacts quest lines such as the Corrupted Ashbringer and the return of the beloved hunter pet Hati. After leading development on Talador, Argus, and Stormsong Valley content, Cash was promoted to lead the quest design team, providing direction for the team and representing World of Warcraft in various media interviews.

Following his departure from Blizzard, he moved on to Epic Games, serving as a lead quest designer and eventual design director on Fortnite.

Although it is not at all uncommon to work for multiple different studios throughout a career in the video game industry, it is not quite as common for employees to return, though we are nevertheless pleased to see him again and look forward to many more years together.
