StarCraft II vets have formed a new studio called Frost Giant Studios

Real-time strategy veterans that previously worked at Blizzard on StarCraft II and WarCraft III games have formed a new studio to make a next great RTS game, after failing to greenlit RTS games at Blizzard, reportedly.

Last week Blizzard have announced that they're ending content development for their mega-popular RTS game StarCraft II. We wrote about it here . Now, a large number of veterans who have worked on StarCraft II and Warcraft III have formed a new company called the Frost Giant Studios .

It's been clear for quite some time that RTS games are not making enough money for Activision, and that folks from Blizzard have tried to greenlit RTS games in the past couple of years with no success, according to Jason Schreier . 

So, it's no surprise that these well-known heads from the gaming-industry decided to assemble under the new roof, with a bold "Real-Time Strategy Returns!" statement in their studio-reveal tweet.
