The future of RTS is on the horizon, and I, for one, am stoked!
Revealed during Summer Game Fest 2022, Stormgate is a free-to-play RTS title created by some of the leading developers behind Blizzard Entertainment‘s Starcraft 2.
Stormgate is currently in pre-alpha testing. Beta testing is scheduled to begin in 2023, and you can sign-up are here.
The game will be set in the future in a post-apocalyptic environment where humans use mechs to wage war against demons. As explained by Frost Giant Studios, “players will harvest resources, build bases, and train units” to secure victory. So far only two factions “industrious” humans or “demonic” aliens have been announced, but Frost Giant Studios have said that at least one more faction is planned.
Confirmed that Stormgate is being created in Unreal Engine 5, Frost Giant Studios says will the game will allow players to have “hundreds of units” appearing in combat.
As someone the grew up playing Dune 2, Warcraft 2, Brood War, StarCraft, Starcraft 2, and Legacy of the Void my expectations of Stomgate are unrealistically high and I cannot wait to experience it!
If you’re into RTS and are interested in following the journey, get over to Steam and add it to your wishlist today!
