As it is easy to get lost among the many studios founded by former residents of Blizzard, let’s first remember that Frost Giant Studios is the work of Tim Morten and Tim Campbell, respectively production manager of StarCraft II and director of Warcraft III : The Frozen Throne. Far from being randomly assembled, the team also includes many other StarCraft II executives. Logically, and while Blizzard has put the license away, the Frost Giant Studios team is therefore at work on its own real-time strategy game.
“Kakao Games is a recognized publisher, both in the Korean market and in the international market, and we are very happy to work together. With their support, we will do everything possible to create a next-gen RTS that will be within reach and will appeal to players around the world.“, rejoices Tim Morten. More details on this title developed with the Unreal Engine 5 engine will be revealed this year if all goes well.
As a reminder, Frost Giant Studios had already raised $4.7 million in October 2020 and then an additional $5 million in March 2021, but Kakao Games’ investment is by far the largest to date and gives it the means to expand its premises, beef up its workforce, and better equip itself to make what the studio hopes will be the next big real-time strategy game.
