In a significant shift for ZeniMax Online Studios, Matt Firor, the studio’s long-time boss, has announced his departure amidst the cancellation of an unannounced project. This news comes on the heels of sweeping layoffs at Microsoft, raising questions about the future direction of the studio and its flagship title, The Elder Scrolls Online.
