<p dir="ltr"><span>That new outfit is Frost Giant Games, and its helmed by former Blizzard developers Tim Morten and Tim Campbell. </span></p>
<p dir="ltr"><span>Both have experience in the genre from their days at the <em>StarCraft</em> developer, with Morten having previously worked as production director on <em>StarCraft</em><em> 2: Wings of Liberty </em>and Campbell having served as lead campaign designer for <em>Warcraft 3: The Frozen Throne</em>.</span></p>

That $4.7 seed funding round was led by Bitkraft Ventures, and saw contributions from 1UP Ventures, GC Tracker, fellow dev studio Riot Games, and Griffin Gaming Partners as well.</span></p>
