He also worked as lead designer on the World of Warcraft: Legion.\n<\/p>\n<p>\nThroughout Love&#8217;s career in the games industry, he&#8217;s served as the principal combat designer on Diablo 4. He was previously the lead technical artist on Diablo 3.\n<\/p>\n<p>\nKelly&#8217;s work history includes a five-year stint at THQ as its senior vice president of business development. He also held the position of director at The Walt Disney Company.\n<\/p>\n<p>\nThe studio is developing a new action RPG for PC and home consoles; mobile versions will be evaluated. Additionally, Gas Giant Games is poised to give a private presentation of its title to publishers and investors at GDC next week.\n<\/p>\n<p>\n &#8220;A development team&#8217;s time is a precious thing, and there&#8217;s no justification for spending their time on anything other than games they want to make. And man, do we want to make this game,&#8221; said Love.\n<\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<div id=\"content_below\">\n<nav>\n<div id=\"newsletters\">\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/www.gamesindustry.biz\/static\/6a71ba572d2ab05a5dd861ccebdc99e6\/img\/icon.svg\" loading=\"lazy\" alt=\"Entertainment GamesIndustry.biz logo\"><\/p>\n<h2>Entertainment<br \/>\nNewsletters    <\/h2>\n<p>\nSubscribe to GamesIndustry.biz newsletters for the latest industry news.    <\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<\/nav><\/div>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.gamesindustry.biz\/blizzard-entertainment-alums-form-gas-giant-games\" class=\"button purchase\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">Read More<\/a><br \/>\n Jeffrey Rousseau<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>If you click on a link and make a purchase we may receive a small commission.
