Ex-StarCraft and Warcraft veterans' new RTS is losing online features as server partner is sold to an AI company, and devs don't know when or if they'll be restored

Stormgate.

Frost Giant Studios has announced that the online functions of its debut RTS game Stormgate will be shutting down for the foreseeable future at the end of this month due to its partner being bought by an AI company.

Frost Giant Studios was founded in 2020 by former Blizzard developers Tim Morten and Tim Campbell who were previously leads on expansions for the likes of StarCraft 2 and Warcraft 3 (and my beloved, Command & Conquer: Red Alert, in Campbell's case). So with a pedigree like that, a RTS game was sure to follow, and after a very successful Kickstarter, Stormgate entered early access in 2024, with the full launch around a year later in August 2025. And, despite mixed reviews for the game, the devs pledged to support it for years to come.
