Johnny Cash Returns to Blizzard Entertainment

Johnny Cash has announced his return to Blizzard Entertainment as a Principal Designer on the World of Warcraft team, four years after his departure. Cash originally joined Blizzard as a Cataclysm-era intern and spent 12 years there, working on Pet Battles, Garrison outposts, Class Halls, and Artifact questlines including the Corrupted Ashbringer and the Hati hunter pet storyline. He later led content for Talador, Argus, and Stormsong Valley before being promoted to lead the quest design team.

After leaving Blizzard, Cash moved to Epic Games where he served as lead quest designer and eventually design director on Fortnite. His return to WoW development is a relatively rare move in an industry where studio-hopping is common but boomerang hires less so.
