A Blizzard representative has officially spoken out, confirming rumours that Brian Morrisroe, Art Director for Diablo 3, has resigned from the company.

It was made clear that it was in no part a reaction to or a result of the negative fan reaction to the look of the game – which many consider to be a bit to bright, pretty, and looks a lot like WoW.

Instead, it appears that Brian has left to form a new company and that his departure will not effect the development of Diablo 3 in the slightest, nor will the art style or presentation of the game be changed as a result of his resignation.
