Gameplay
[edit]Stormgate is a real-time strategy game set in a post-apocalyptic world. As standard for the genre, players concurrently gather resources, build bases and troops, and upgrade assets. The game will be free-to-play with free and monetized content. It is being developed to make a typically complex genre accessible to new audiences while providing the option of balanced, competitive one-on-ones for more advanced players.[2]
Development
[edit]Former Blizzard developers Tim Morten and Tim Campbell founded Frost Giant Studios in October 2020 with intention to build an accessible real-time strategy game. Morten previously was StarCraft II: Legacy of the Void's production lead, and Campbell had been Warcraft III: The Frozen Throne's campaign lead designer. They raised nearly $5 million in seed funding,[3] an additional $5 million in March 2021,[4] and $25 million in its January 2022 Series A funding.[5] Frost Giant debuted Stormgate in June 2022. A closed beta started during December 2023.[2] Stormgate became available for early access on Steam on July 30, 2024,[6][7] and was fully released on August 5, 2025.[8]
Reception
[edit]Reviewing Stormgate for IGN, Leana Hafer wrote: "Stormgate still has a long road ahead of it, but it's already a special game, combining the familiar and the fresh into a satisfying RTS experience."[9]
