Fawzi Mesmar is an award-winning designer that has played a pivotal role as the Head of Design over at DICE since 2019. He's been responsible for looking after two of DICE's biggest franchises, Battlefield and Star Wars: Battlefront. However, following the release of Battlefield 2042, Mesmar confirmed that he's going to leave DICE in favor of a company that made him an offer that he "couldn't refuse".
Where does Mesmar's departure leave Battlefield 2042?
According to VGC, Mesmar's departure was announced via email. The contents of the email revealed that Mesmar had already planned to leave DICE well before Battlefield 2042 was shipped. However, the former King studio director was able to negotiate with his new company so that he could leave once he'd finished working on EA and DICE's latest shooter. Mesmer's resignation from DICE is official as of November 26.
Battlefield 2042 fans don't have to worry about Mesmar's departure. The former Head of Design at DICE clarified that there is a succession plan already in place. This means that business will be as usual over at DICE even if he's already gone.
