The Lord of the Rings karya Tolkien, Vol. I]]'' dan ''Battle Chess II: Chinese Chess''.<ref name="blizz_tline">{{cite web |url=http://www.blizzard.com/blizz-anniversary/timeline.shtml | title=Blizzard Timeline |publisher=Blizzard Entertainment |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20010215105033/http://www.blizzard.com/blizz-anniversary/timeline.shtml |archive-date= 15 Februari 2001}}</ref><ref>{{cite web |url=http://www.mobygames.com/browse/games/blizzard-entertainment-inc/ported-by/list-games/ |title=Porting oleh Blizzard Entertainment Inc. |publisher=Mobygames |access-date=10 Maret 2008 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20080228220612/http://www.mobygames.com/browse |archive-date=2008-02-28 |url-status=live |dead-url=no }}</ref> Pada tahun 1993, perusahaan mengembangkan game seperti ''[[Rock n' Roll Racing]]'' dan ''[[The Lost Vikings]]'' (diterbitkan oleh [[Interplay Entertainment|Interplay Productions]]).
 
Sekitar tahun 1993, salah satu pendiri Adham mengatakan kepada eksekutif lain bahwa dia tidak menyukai nama "Silicon & Synapse" lagi, karena orang-orang di luar perusahaan membingungkan arti dari [[silikon|silikon elemen kimia]] yang digunakan dalam microchip dengan [[Silicone|silicone bahan yang digunakan dalam implan payudara]]. Pada akhir tahun 1993, Adham mengubah nama menjadi "Chaos Studios", yang mencerminkan proses pengembangan mereka yang serampangan.<ref name="pcgamer naming">{{cite web | url = https://www.pcgamer.com/how-blizzard-got-its-name/ | title = Bagaimana Blizzard mendapatkan namanya | pertama = Tom | terakhir = Tanda | tanggal = 7 Desember 2016 | tanggal akses = 11 Desember 2019 | kerja = [[Gamer PC]] | arsip-tanggal = 11 Desember 2019 | archive-url = https://web.archive.org/web/20210902131831/https://www.pcgamer.com/how-blizzard-got-its-name/ | url-status = langsung | access-date = 2021-09-28 | archive-date = 2021-09-02 | dead-url = unfit }}</ref>
 
Pada awal 1994, mereka diakuisisi oleh distributor [[Davidson & Associates]] seharga $6,75&nbsp;juta.<ref>Dean Takahashi: ''[http://articles.latimes.com/print/1994-03-13/business/fi-33584_1_video game-development Co-Founder Melihat Kekacauan di Tahap Awal dan Tantangan Masa Depan.] {{Webarchive|url =https://archive.today/20120707041727/http://articles.latimes.com/print/1994-03-13/business/fi-33584_1_video |date=July 7, 2012 }}'' Dalam: Los Angeles Times , 13 Maret 1994. – Wawancara dengan Allen Adham.</ref> Tidak lama setelah itu, mereka dihubungi oleh perusahaan Florida, Chaos Technologies, yang ingin agar perusahaan membayar {{USD|100.000}} untuk mempertahankan nama tersebut.<ref>Dekan Takahashi: ''[http://articles.latimes.com/print/1994-05-24/business/fi-61596_1_chaos-studios Tas Kerja: Teknologi.] {{Webarchive|url=https://archive.today/20120629025604/http://articles.latimes.com/print/1994-05-24/business/fi-61596_1_chaos-studios |date=2012-06-29 }}'' Di: Los An geles Times, 24 Mei 1994.</ref> Karena tidak ingin membayar jumlah itu, para eksekutif memutuskan untuk mengubah nama studio menjadi "Ogre Studios" pada April 1994.<ref name="pcgamer naming"/> Namun, Davidson & Associated tidak menyukai nama ini, dan memaksa perusahaan untuk mengubahnya. Menurut Morhaime, Adham mulai membaca kamus dari awal, menuliskan kata apa pun yang tampak menarik dan meneruskannya ke departemen hukum untuk melihat apakah ada komplikasi. Salah satu kata pertama yang mereka anggap menarik dan lolos pemeriksaan hukum adalah "SnowStorm", yang membuat mereka mengubah nama mereka menjadi "Blizzard Entertainment" pada Mei 1994.<ref name="pcgamer naming"/> Pada Mei, Chaos Studios berganti nama menjadi Blizzard Entertainment.<ref>{{cite web | url = http://articles.latimes.com/print/1994-05-24/business/fi-61596_1_chaos-studios | title = Tas kerja: Teknologi | pertama = Dekan | terakhir= Takahashi | tanggal = 24 Mei 1994 | tanggal akses = 11 Desember 2019 | kerja =[[Los Angeles Times]] | archive-url=https://archive.today/20120629025604/http://articles.latimes.com/print/1994-05-24/business/fi-61596_1_chaos-studios | archive-date=29 Juni 2012}}</ref> Tak lama kemudian, Blizzard Entertainment mengirimkan terobosan mereka ''[[Warcraft: Orcs & Humans]]'', sebuah game [[game strategi waktu nyata|strategi waktu nyata]] (RTS) dalam latar fantasi tinggi.
