Eric Hirshberg, CEO of Call of Duty and Destiny publisher Activision Publishing, will leave his job after eight years in March.
Hirshberg just announced to his team that he is leaving, and Activision has confirmed the departure.
Hirshberg ran a big division of Activision Blizzard, and he reported to Activision Blizzard CEO Bobby Kotick. At Activision Publishing, Hirshberg was responsible for game series such as Call of Duty, Destiny, and Skylanders.
Those franchises are some of the biggest in gaming.
"Serving as Activision's CEO has been an honor and a thrill," said Hirshberg, in a statement. "This is an amazing company. One which routinely delivers epic experiences for our fans on a scale that no one else can. I have nothing but admiration for the incredible team I have had the privilege to lead. And I have nothing but appreciation for Bobby for giving me this transformational opportunity, and also for having the vision and conviction to champion a creative person for a leadership role on this scale."
