Frost Giant Studios has announced an advisory partnership with Irvine-based game company Dreamhaven and a licensing deal with Epic Games as it builds the next generation of RTS. The Orange County-based game studio was founded in 2020 by Blizzard veterans Tim Mortena and Tim Campbell, who previously led development on titles such as StarCraft II and WarCraft III: The Frozen Throne.
Tim Morten, Chief Executive Officer at Frost Giant Studios, commented: “We are so fortunate to be able to work with the industry giants at Dreamhaven who were instrumental in creating the RTS legacy that inspired Frost Giant. Mike Morhaime has helped set a benchmark for real-time strategy games that has not been surpassed. He remains engaged with the genre and the community today, and his advice will be incredibly valuable as we work to bring real-time strategy (RTS) games to a broad audience.”
Dreamhaven was launched in September 2020 by Blizzard co-founder Mike Morhaime who serves as CEO, and his wife Amy Morhaime who runs operations. The Irvine-based game company is also home to many members of the original Blizzard RTS leadership team. Frost Giant Studios will leverage their expertise in areas such as product development, feedback in pre-production, and playtesting.
