ZOS President Matt Firor Stepping Away From ESO Studio After 18 Years

ZeniMax Online Studios President Matt Firor is stepping down from the studio later this month, the company announced. The Elder Scrolls Online studio head had been in his role for the past 18 years, and the announcement today comes in the wake of layoffs across Microsoft’s business, including canceling ZOS’ in-development MMO, codenamed "Blackbird."
