Summary
Josh Henderson will lead ZeniMax Online Studios after Microsoft’s Xbox layoffs triggered the exit of studio head Joe Burba and three other senior executives.
A Maryland WARN filing confirmed 379 job losses across ZeniMax Media and ZeniMax Online Studios, with more than 200 employees at the studio affected by the cuts.
Joe Burba, Susan Kath, Rich Lambert and Ala Diaz will stay through a transition period while a newly promoted internal leadership team takes over; Nick Giacomini will keep overseeing The Elder Scrolls Online.
ZeniMax said The Elder Scrolls Online remains in active development, adding that the team is now roughly the size it was during the Wrothgar and Summerset expansion era.
