Blizzard video games

Blizzard Entertainment is a legendary name in the video game industry, originally founded in 1991 as Silicon & Silicon by Allen Adham, Frank Pearce, and Michael Morhaime in Irvine, California. The brand is responsible for some of the most influential franchises in gaming history, including World of Warcraft, Diablo, StarCraft, and Overwatch.

While its creative development is rooted in the United States, its digital products are distributed globally through its proprietary Battle.net platform. Ownership of the brand has transitioned several times, eventually becoming part of Activision Blizzard in 2008. In a landmark acquisition completed in late 2023, the brand became a part of Microsoft Gaming, marking a new chapter under one of the world's largest technology conglomerates.
