Last week, Blizzard announced that they have stopped the development of new content for StarCraft 2.

Now, a group of former Blizzard developers and veterans (who previously worked on StarCraft 2, amongst others) have formed a new studio called Frost Giant Studios. The new company will focus primarily on real-time strategy (RTS) games.

On the official website of Frost Giant Studios, it is stated:

“Our mission is to build the next great PC real-time strategy game!

We’ve been privileged to work for some of the greatest companies in the industry. 

Now it’s our turn to carry forward the legacy of epic storytelling, innovative co-op gameplay, and celebrated esports that make RTS great.”
