Kiki Wolfkill gave 28 years of her life to the company.
Microsoft's gaming division continues to undergo personnel changes amid Xbox's transition to a new stage of development under the leadership of Asha Sharma. It has become known that Kiki Wolfkill, the head of Xbox's film and television division, has left the company.
Wolfkill personally announced her departure on LinkedIn, noting that her last working day was last Friday. She worked at Microsoft for 28 years and played an important role in the development of the company's key franchises.
Wolfkill's career at the company began back in 1998, when she took the position of art director at Microsoft Game Studios. Later, with the development of the Halo series after the Bungie era, she became the executive producer of Halo 4 at 343 Industries. Subsequently, Wolfkill led Halo's transmedia division, which resulted in the creation of a television series based on the franchise, and then took the post of head of Xbox's film and TV division.
In addition to Halo, Wolfkill participated in the development of successful adaptations and projects based on other major gaming brands. Among them are the Fallout series for Amazon, the Minecraft movie, as well as the upcoming Gears of War adaptation for Netflix.
In her farewell message, Wolfkill noted that she is looking with interest toward the next stage of her career: "There is a version of me outside Microsoft that I am interested in developing and revealing". She also hinted that she would soon share details about future projects.
