Blizzard is losing yet another top executive, according to a new Bloomberg report, which says that Overwatch executive producer Chacko Sonny will leave the company on Friday.
Sonny’s departure was announced to staff via email in which new Blizzard co-chiefs Jen Oneal and Mike Ybarra described him as “a thoughtful leader.” Sonny said in the email that it “has been an absolute privilege” to work at Blizzard, describing his time there as “one of the best experiences of my career.”
The resignation comes amidst high-profile allegations of widespread sexual harassment and misconduct at Activision Blizzard, which have resulted in a Department of Fair Employment and Housing lawsuit, a complaint with the National Labor Relations Board, and most recently the launch of an SEC investigation into its handling of complaints of workplace abuse. Multiple sources told Bloomberg that Sonny was a well-respected figure, however, and said that they aren’t aware of any allegations of misconduct against him.
