List of Blizzard Entertainment games

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Blizzard Entertainmentis an Americanvideo game developerandpublisherbased inIrvine, California.The company was founded in February 1991 under the name Silicon & Synapse byMichael Morhaime,Frank Pearce and Allen Adham. The company initially concentrated onportingother studio's games to computer platforms, as wellRPM Racing(1991), a remake ofRacing Destruction Set(1985).[1][2]In 1992, however, the company began producing original games for home consoles withThe Lost Vikings(1992) andRock n' Roll Racing(1993), and beginning withWarcraft: Orcs & Humans(1994) it shifted to primarily focus on original computer games. The company was renamed to Blizzard Entertainment in 1994, and in 1996 the company Condor, then developingDiablo(1997), was merged with Blizzard and renamed toBlizzard North;it remained a separate studio for the company until it was closed in 2005.[2]

Blizzard was acquired by distributorDavidson & Associatesin 1994, and a chain of acquisitions over the next four years led Blizzard to being a part ofVivendi Games,a subsidiary ofVivendi;when Vivendi Games merged withActivisionin 2008 the resulting company was namedActivision Blizzard.[2]The name was retained when Activision Blizzard became an independent company in 2013, while Blizzard itself has been an independent subsidiary company throughout.[3][4]

Since the late 1990s, Blizzard has focused almost exclusively on theWarcraft,Diablo,StarCraft,andOverwatchseries. All of Blizzard's games released since 2004 still receive expansions and updates, especially the long-runningmassively multiplayer online role-playing gameWorld of Warcraft(2004). With over 100 million lifetime accounts as of 2014 and US$9 billion in revenue as of 2017,World of Warcraftis one of the best-selling computer games and highest-grossing video games of all time.[5][6]Blizzard Entertainment has developed 19 games since 1991, in addition to developing 8 ports between 1992 and 1993; 11 of those games are in theWarcraft,Diablo,andStarCraftseries.
