Blizzard North (formerly known as Condor) was an American video game development studio based in San Mateo, California.

Blizzard Entertainment then announced further layoffs, cancelled work on Starblo, and directed the remaining team to focus on Diablo III.

The work of former Blizzard North artist Phroilan Gardner was featured in editions of World of Warcraft: The Trading Card Game around the same time.

A few employees from the Diablo team, including Eric Sexton, Michio Okamura, and Steven Woo, organized to launch a new company, Hyboreal Games.

[11] Former Blizzard North members who joined the studio include Michael Scandizzo, Stefan Scandizzo, Alan Ackerman, Steven Woo, Rick Seis,[12] Ted Bisson, Bruno Bowden, Peter Brevik, Michael Huang, Kelly Johnson (artist), Michio Okamura, Tom Ricket (also known as Sluggy Freelance's Shirt Guy Tom), and Fredrick Vaught (after whom the Halls of Vaught in Diablo II were named).

Key Blizzard North staff members, including Erich Schaefer, Peter Hu and Phil Shenk, are part of this new venture.

Their upcoming projects promise to introduce new gameplay elements and user-generated content, offering fresh and dynamic experiences for players.
