If you’re like me, you grew up playing amazing video games like warcraft, starcraft and diablo. These games were unlike any other game, they were captivating with their incredible stories, the immersive world, and the incredibly well-designed spells, abilities, and characters. Not to mention the voice actors did an outstanding job.

These are the games that OLD BLIZZARD made. In 2008 Activision merged with Blizzard Entertainment to create Activision Blizzard, this was the beginning of the END of OLD BLIZZARD: the company that refused to release games until they were ready, and where quality came before anything else. Activision Blizzard’s philosophy proved to be different: they refused to pay fair wages, and profit came before anything else.
Every Activision Blizzard game released after 2008 just wasn’t the same. Slowly the old guard of Blizzard left the company and the quality of Activision Blizzard’s games worsened over time.

Today, I can hardly contain my excitement. OLD BLIZZARD the men and women who created our favorite games of all time, have re-united once again to bring us the NEXT BLIZZARD GAME. It has been over a decade since we’ve felt the quality, the chills and excitement of a true blizzard game, but in the next few years, we will once again be reminded what it means to play a true blizzard game. But we can’t call it Blizzard anymore. Because OLD Blizzard has created a new company, and that company is called Frost Giant Studios.

The CEO of Frost Giant Studios is Tim Morten, the former Production Director of Starcraft II, joined by Tim Campbell the former Game Director of Warcraft III: The Frozen Throne. The company also enlists many former-blizzard employees such as writers, engineers, architects, designers and more. It is truly exciting to see this group of people make another game.
The name of the game they are making is Stormgate. One thing that gives me confidence in this company is that it is not going to stray too far from what made Blizzard games great. They will continue to use tried-and-true fundamentals, while also aiming to revolutionize the gaming space. The story of Stormgate is somewhat similar to Warcraft, demonic invaders coming through a dark portal. The invaders in Stormgate are called the Infernal Host, and the dark portal is called the Stormgate. The genre of the game is going to be realtime strategy. Now for most of my audience you’re all MMO players, world of warcraft is the main game I make videos about. But world of warcraft was built from Warcraft 3, and I’m sure anyone who played warcraft 3 recognizes many of the art assets that were used in warcraft 3 appearing in world of warcraft. But the point is that warcraft was an RTS before it was an MMO, and many of you probably played that before WoW.

As of the release of this video we know that Stormgate has announced 2 playable races which are the Human Resistance, and the Infernal Host. The game takes place hundreds of years in the future in a post-apocalyptic earth where the human resistance is battling the infernal host, which conquers worlds. We know that there will be 2+ races when Stormgate releases which is super exciting. Warcraft III had 4 playable races, and even some extra races for the campaign missions. Starcraft had 3 races – The Zerg, Protoss, and Terran, and it was considered one of the most balanced RTS games in existence and not to mention that both of these games are the most acclaimed and best-selling games of all time. What’s great is that the people that worked on those games are now working on Stormgate.

If you remember back to Warcraft and Starcraft you might remember there was a map editor application outside the main client. This editor was super powerful because for Warcraft III, this was the same editor that the campaign designers used to create the campaign in warcraft III, and it was then just given to everyone who bought the game to use. From it we saw entire genre’s of game born, like MOBAs – Multiplayer Online Battle Arenas – from the game DOTA back in Warcraft III as a custom game. The game where you could never even download it in-game because downloading meant instant-boot so you had to go online to download it first. And from that we saw League of Legends, and DotA 2, and Heroes of Newerth and more.
