ZeniMax Online Studios Leadership Change Amid Project Cancellation
In a significant shift for ZeniMax Online Studios, Matt Firor, the long-time head of the studio, has announced his departure following the cancellation of an unannounced project. This news comes amidst broader layoffs at Microsoft, raising questions about the future direction of the studio and its flagship title, The Elder Scrolls Online.
Firor, who has been with ZeniMax for over 18 years, expressed gratitude for his time leading the studio and highlighted the capable hands it will be in under the new leadership team.
