Two weeks ago, we reported that Guild Wars 2 Game Director Mike Zadorojny had quietly departed ArenaNet last fall. Originally leaked by a troll account on Reddit, the news was confirmed to us by our own sources for our article. ArenaNet did not respond to a request for comment.
In any case, now Mike Z himself has confirmed his big move on his very own Linkedin. According to his page, he became the Live Operations PM at Amazon Game Studios working on Crucible back in November 2019, five months ago – just as we’d estimated. His tenure at ArenaNet apparently came to an end the same month. It was our understanding that John Taylor became the top game director at ArenaNet in Zadorojny’s stead, but the community still hasn’t heard from him directly.
