For 22 years, Chris Metzen was one of the chief creative minds behind the games developed by Blizzard Entertainment. Metzen stepped down from his position within Blizzard to finally take a break in 2016 but has returned recharged with a new tabletop gaming company called Warchief Gaming. Warchief Gaming was founded by Metzen and Mike Gilmartin in 2018, the latter of whom left Blizzard Entertainment earlier this year, but the company has only recently gone public.
