Former Blizzard Devs Form Frost Giant Studios With a Focus on RTS Titles

We've been seeing several former Blizzard devs putting together different studios after the last few years. Of course, most of those new studios take all the same to produce a game. However, it's prissy to see the Blizzard old baby-sit staying with video games and potentially building something great without the influence of Activision. Today, Tim Morten and Tim Campbell announced their new company Frost Giant Studios, which is gear up to focus on making the next great RTS game.

Of course, for those in the scene, this announcement isn't likewise surprising. Morten was the Production Director for StarCraft Ii and Comand & Conquer General 2. And Campbell was the Atomic number 82 Entrada Designer for Warcraft III: The Frozen Throne. These two accept real-time strategy flowing through their claret. They've added to their ranks with several other former Blizzard devs, generally picking people who helped Morten on Starcraft Ii.

While the ii Tims don't quite have the name recognition of some of the other studios that accept been formed by former Blizzard employees, they practise some solid backing to commencement off. Gameindustry.biz revealed in their writeup that the studio raised $4.7 meg in seed funding from diverse investors. Hopefully, they can utilise that coin to create the beginning of something exceptional.

Between Frost Behemothic Studios, Mike Morhaime's Dreamhaven, and Rob Pardo'south Bonfire Studios it'll be interesting to see which studio gets a game out first. Plainly, Blaze got an early on start as a studio, only it's been four years without a real announcement. Hither's hoping something comes out of one of these studios relatively soon.
