L\u2019information a \u00e9t\u00e9 confirm\u00e9e par l\u2019int\u00e9ress\u00e9 lui-m\u00eame via ses r\u00e9seaux sociaux et son profil LinkedIn.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Holinka a pass\u00e9 plus de dix ans chez Blizzard, o\u00f9 il a rejoint l\u2019entreprise en 2012 comme Lead PvP Designer avant de devenir Lead Combat Designer sur World of Warcraft. Il y a supervis\u00e9 les syst\u00e8mes de combat et la conception des classes \u00e0 travers plusieurs extensions, notamment le retour des arbres de talents \u00e9largis avec <em>Dragonflight<\/em> et le d\u00e9veloppement de la classe \u00c9vocateur.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">En 2023, il quitte Blizzard pour rejoindre Fantastic Pixel Castle, le studio fond\u00e9 par Greg \u201cGhostcrawler\u201d Street, ancien responsable de WoW et du MMO de Riot. Il y a travaill\u00e9 principalement sur la conception des classes du projet <em>Ghost<\/em>, avant que le studio ne soit ferm\u00e9 plus t\u00f4t cette ann\u00e9e par NetEase apr\u00e8s n\u2019avoir pas trouv\u00e9 d\u2019\u00e9diteur.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Holinka rejoint d\u00e9sormais Riot dans son premier poste officiel depuis la fermeture de Fantastic Pixel Castle en novembre 2025. Le MMO de League of Legends reste discret depuis son red\u00e9marrage en 2024, lorsque l\u2019\u00e9quipe a choisi de repartir de z\u00e9ro afin de proposer un projet plus distinct de la concurrence. La derni\u00e8re prise de parole majeure remonte \u00e0 novembre 2024, lorsque le Chief Product Officer Marc Merrill \u00e9voquait une \u201cdirection solide\u201d et une \u201cbonne dynamique\u201d du d\u00e9veloppement.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">L\u2019arriv\u00e9e d\u2019un profil sp\u00e9cialis\u00e9 dans les syst\u00e8mes de combat, le PvP et la conception de classes laisse penser que Riot souhaite renforcer en profondeur ces aspects cl\u00e9s. Mais les contours du MMO restent encore flous, le studio communiquant tr\u00e8s peu sur l\u2019avanc\u00e9e du projet. Il faudra donc attendre encore un certain temps avant d\u2019en savoir davantage sur ce titre tr\u00e8s attendu.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"","protected":false},"author":851959,"featured_media":84221,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_acf_changed":false,"footnotes":""},"categories":[749],"tags":[],"news-type":[1035],"keyword":[],"class_list":["post-84212","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-pc","news-type-article"],"acf":[],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.gameshub.com\/fr\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/84212","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.gameshub.com\/fr\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.gameshub.com\/fr\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.gameshub.com\/fr\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/851959"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.gameshub.com\/fr\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=84212"}],"version-history":[{"count":1,"href":"https:\/\/www.gameshub.com\/fr\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/84212\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":84231,"href":"https:\/\/www.gameshub.com\/fr\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/84212\/revisions\/84231"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.gameshub.com\/fr\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/84221"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.gameshub.com\/fr\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=84212"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.gameshub.com\/fr\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=84212"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.gameshub.com\/fr\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=84212"},{"taxonomy":"news-type","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.gameshub.com\/fr\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/news-type?post=84212"},{"taxonomy":"keyword","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.gameshub.com\/fr\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/keyword?post=84212"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
