Unity has hired the former Chief Creative Officer at Blizzard, Rob Pardo. He will work has a creative adviser for the firm's game developers and designers.

"While I was at Blizzard, we used Unity to develop a little game called Hearthstone: Heroes of Warcraft," said Pardo. "So it’s extra fun for me to be more directly involved with the team at Unity that created the technology we used."

"After years steeped in the games business, my passion remains the same at its core: I love games, discussing design and creative process and I find it fascinating to see how different people work differently.

We’re seeing a new golden age of games currently with an amazing catalog of games, with more breadth and diversity than ever before; there’s something for everyone. Whether you’re into hardcore AAA shooters, deep strategy games, quirky platformers, or more avant garde indie fare, it’s an embarrassment of riches."

Pardo was the lead designer on World of Warcraft, StarCraft: Brood War, and WarCraft III: Reign of Chaos.
