Former Blizzard Entertainment CEO and founder Mike Morhaime has today announced a brand new games company: Dreamhaven.
It's not just the reveal of the new company that Morhaime had to reveal today. It turns out Dreamhaven has already established two game developers underneath the larger company, called Moonshot Studios and Secret Door.
Moonshot Studios is being led by a group of industry veterans, including former Blizzard Entertainment executive producer Jason Chayes. Elsewhere in the new studio there's former Starcraft 2 and Heroes of the Storm game director Dustin Browder, as well as Hearthstone creative director Ben Thompson.

Secret Door is also partly composed of former Blizzard employees. Chris Sagity was previously executive producer on Hearthstone, Heroes of the Storm, and Starcraft 2, as well as lead producer on the original Warcraft 3. Eric Dodds was the original game director on Hearthstone, and Alan Dabiri has filled both technical and game director roles on Warcraft 3, Starcraft 2, and Heroes of the Storm.
That's certainly a lot of former Blizzard veterans coming together under one new banner. As reporter Jason Schreier wrote earlier today over on Twitter, "many had left because of Activision’s growing influence on Blizzard’s culture and process."
