About Frost Giant Studios
Frost Giant Studios is an independent American game developer founded in 2020 by Tim Morten and Tim Campbell. The studio focuses on PC real-time strategy games, combining competitive play, cooperative experiences and story campaigns. Its founding ambition was to make RTS gaming accessible to a broader audience while preserving the depth and high skill ceiling associated with the genre.
The founders brought experience from established strategy and role-playing game teams. Before Frost Giant, Morten served as Production Director on StarCraft II: Legacy of the Void and Command & Conquer: Generals 2. Campbell’s previous roles included Game Director on Wasteland 3 and Lead Campaign Designer on Warcraft III: The Frozen Throne. These are the founders’ earlier career credits, separate from the studio’s own portfolio.
Games and development
The studio’s flagship game, Stormgate, is a free-to-play science-fantasy RTS for Windows PC, distributed through Steam. It entered Early Access in July 2024 and reached commercial release in August 2025. Its supported modes include story campaigns, cooperative 3vE play and competitive multiplayer ladders.
Stormgate combines Unreal Engine 5 with Frost Giant’s proprietary SnowPlay simulation engine. The studio’s development capabilities span game design, 3D environment and character art, multiplayer systems, in-client esports features and user-generated content editor tools. Its work also encompasses live-service operations and community support.
Recent development
Following Stormgate’s commercial underperformance and declining active player counts, Frost Giant reduced its costs and personnel during late 2025. By the research date in October 2026, it remained an independent operating company with a streamlined structure focused on maintaining Stormgate, supporting its community and providing game updates. This represented a shift from the studio’s earlier production scale toward ongoing support of its released title.
