Head of Mojang Studios Asa Bredin resigns as Microsoft Gaming VP fills role

This week, significant shifts are taking place at Minecraft’s developer, Mojang Studios. It has been announced that Åsa Bredin, the current Head of Mojang Studios, is departing to concentrate on personal endeavors. In her stead, Kayleen Walters, a Vice President at Microsoft Gaming, will assume the role and become the new head of Mojang Studios.

Åsa Bredin announced her departure from Mojang Studios through her LinkedIn profile. She held the position for approximately one and a half years, having joined the company about three and a half years ago. However, Bredin has expressed her desire to focus on personal endeavors, leading to her decision to leave the studio: she is moving forward to pursue these projects.

Microsoft’s acquisition of Minecraft has proven to be a lucrative intellectual property, as the game remains a hub for boundless creativity and exciting journeys for gamers. With no indications of waning popularity in the foreseeable future, it’s worth noting that last year, Mojang teamed up with Netflix to develop an animated series. Previously serving as a marketing lead at Lucasfilm for over a decade, Kayleen Walters recently joined Microsoft and now oversees the Minecraft brand as its Vice President and manager.

Based on this, it appears that Walters is well-informed about the Minecraft franchise. Keep an eye on Mojang Studios for future developments and announcements related to Minecraft.
