Glenn Rane, Diablo Immortal and World of Warcraft lead artist, leaves Blizzard.

Art lead Glenn Rane has left Blizzard. Rane was joined by various former Blizzard colleagues and some ex-Epic Game Studio ones at Lightforge Games to become a co-founder and art director. Lightforge hasn’t announced any upcoming projects, as they are currently testing/making roleplaying games.

Glenn Rane was a long-term vet of Blizzard, having developed on World of Warcraft, Hearthstone, and (most lately) Diablo Immortal. His work is known quite well.

Blizzard’s seen several striking passages over the prior year, consisting of Overwatch’s Jeff Kaplan, World of Warcraft’s Dave Kosak, WoW Classic’s Omar Gonzalez, and Diablo IV’s David Kim.
