Building a worthy successor will take time, but we’re incredibly excited and grateful to carry real-time strategy forward at Frost Giant Studios. I came to Frost Giant Studios to build the next great RTS. RTS is really the genre that I love the most. This was an opportunity to make something new and that is such a rare opportunity in game development. I’m super excited to have this chance.”.
