Hello RTS fans! We're very pleased to announce today the formation of a new game studio based in Orange County, California: Frost Giant Studios! Founded by Blizzard veterans, Frost Giant's mission is to create the next great PC Real-Time Strategy game and bring it to a broad audience.
By applying what we've learned over the last decade, both as developers and as community members, we hope to boldly advance the RTS genre.
We're dedicated to lowering the barrier to entry into RTS without taking away what fans of the genre love most. We’re planning to support and enhance the RTS experience for fans of every player segment—campaign, co-operative, competitive—and embrace user-generated content creators. We know RTS has been critical to the legacy of esports, and we're committed to carrying that legacy into the future.
Over the next year, we are going to be building a game prototype and experimenting with gameplay. But we need your help! Join us on our development journey, and lend us your insights, perspectives, and knowledge!
Please visit our website, frostgiant.com, for more information, and subscribe to our newsletter to get up-to-date info on the status of our project and how you can participate in the dev process

Still think the EPT and GSL continuing was the best news this year, but the establishment of these two studios does sound very interesting!

Frost Giant already achieving what Dreamhaven couldn't, use a name that clearly takes a stab at blizzard :>
More seriously, I am now wondering if Dreamhaven is also working on an rts and we'll get two teams of ex-blizz duking it out!

I'm already very curious to know why Frost Giant isn't a studio under Dreamhaven's umbrella. This seems like exactly the type of project that Morhaime would be interested in supporting. Given that all these guys know each other well, surely they have had conversations in the last year about their new projects and have apparently decided not to partner up. I wonder why.

Oh they are partly funded by Riot games, interesting.
Best of luck! Hoping for a nice new RTS game in a few years time.

I'll get excited once I see good gameplay. Dawn of War 3 taught me that

The frostgiant website's certificate is being flagged as a security risk at this time. Their web server may be configured improperly or their certificate has expired. Either way not a good look for anyone visiting their site for the 1st time like myself. Hopefully they get it resolved in due time so i can check it out
