Tempest Rising is an upcoming real-time strategy video game developed by Slipgate Ironworks and 2B Games, and published by 3D Realms.[1]
Gameplay
Tempest Rising is a traditional real-time strategy game in which players build bases, collect resources, and field armies against opposing human players or the AI. Its gameplay is reminiscent of that of the Command & Conquer series and other RTS games of the 90s and 2000s.[2][3][4] Two factions, the GDF and the Tempest Dynasty, will be playable in the game's two campaigns, and a third faction has been confirmed to be available in multiplayer.[1]
Setting
Tempest Rising takes place in an alternate version of 1997, thirty-four years after an exacerbated Cuban missile crisis left significant areas of the Earth irradiated. The Global Defense Forces (GDF) and a cult referred to as the Tempest Dynasty struggle for control of the globe and a new mysterious energy source, the plant-like Tempest, which blooms in irradiated portions of the planet.[1]
Development
Developer Slipgate Ironworks is based in Denmark.[5] THQ Nordic announced Tempest Rising on August 12, 2022.[6] A playable demo of the game was released in August 2023.[7]
