FaZe Clan is preparing a return of the brand on November 11. On November 10, the organization's official X account posted only the date “11.11.26”, without specifying what will happen or at what time. A few hours later, former executive and one of the brand's founders Richard “Banks” Bengtson said he has no involvement in the upcoming project.
The FaZe Clan post received hundreds of thousands of views within a few hours. The organization has not yet revealed any details about the upcoming announcement.
Banks did not criticize FaZe Clan's upcoming return and instead wished the brand success. He said that he is not involved in what comes next for FaZe and thanked the organization for the opportunities it gave him and others.
According to Banks, FaZe “changed the way the world spins,” and he called the brand the greatest project he had ever been a part of.
Banks' departure from FaZe is not new. In 2024, he became the CEO of FaZe Media during the brand's reboot, and in July 2025 he announced that he was stepping away from the organization. In September of the same year, he confirmed his official departure from FaZe.
Following GameSquare's deal with FaZe Clan in 2024, the structure of the brand changed. In May, the company was split into FaZe Media, which was responsible for content creators and the brand's media direction, and FaZe Esports, which retained the esports teams.
In April 2025, GameSquare exited FaZe Media while retaining 100% of FaZe Esports. Therefore, the current teaser from the FaZeClan account rather than FaZeEsports most likely concerns the brand and creator side, although there has been no official confirmation of this.
At the same time, FaZe's esports division continues to operate. The Call of Duty team won the Call of Duty League 2026 championship, while the Rainbow Six Siege roster continues to compete internationally. In CS2, the team missed IEM Cologne 2026 and recently finished its run at IEM Beijing 2026.
At the end of 2025, several key content creators left FaZe, including Adapt, Lacy, Silky, JasonTheWeen, and Stable Ronaldo. Co-owners Apex and Rug also left the organization.
In December, FaZe stated that the end of its creator era was connected to a business restructuring. In April 2026, former FaZe members Adapt, Silky, Jason, Lacy, and Stable Ronaldo, along with Marlon, created their own group, CORE.
Thus, FaZe Clan has not yet revealed what exactly it will present on November 11. Banks has already confirmed that he will not be involved in the brand's new chapter, while the former faces of its creator division are now developing their own project.
As a reminder, Skydance Games laid off at least 25 employees as part of a major restructuring following its merger with Warner Bros.
