Welcome to the future of RTS.
Stormgate is the new real-time strategy game from the team at Frost Giant Studios—including former developers of WarcraftⓇ III and StarCraftⓇ II. Explore an ever-evolving story through thrilling campaign missions where science fiction and fantasy collide—solo or cooperatively. Battle opponents around the world on our competitive 1v1 ladder. Team up with your friends to challenge the AI in cooperative modes. Get your hands dirty in the editor to build the game of your dreams.
Developed in Unreal Engine 5, Stormgate will support high-resolution HD visuals in 4K and hundreds of units in epic, large-scale wars across a variety of maps and tilesets. The user interface is designed to make RTS more approachable by streamlining inputs, automatically assigning units to control groups, and enhancing gameplay. We’ve lowered the skill floor while keeping the ceiling as high as you want to climb.
Stormgate is the RTS everyone's been waiting for.
Ultimate Early Access Pack
Sink your teeth into this jam-packed collection of in-game Heroes, Campaign chapters, and cosmetic rewards to kick off your journey in Stormgate:
- Amara - Vanguard Hero
Amara (aka Dagger Four) has dedicated her life to hunting down the Infernal demons who took everything from her. She's laser-focused on the job at hand--killing demons--and she's damn good at her job.
- Maloc - Infernal Hero
Voiced by the inimitable warchief, Chris Metzen, Maloc is an Infernal Hero who uses his fiery magic to great effect. His upgraded Magmadons--the Mortardons--wreak havoc on friend and foe alike, while his massive Fire Giants put lowly Brute units to shame.
- Auralanna - Celestial Hero
Auralanna is an idealistic protector committed to defending those in need. Don't mistake her gentle spirit for weakness.
- Vanguard Campaign - Chapter 1 Missions
These three missions take place following the free prologue and are your ticket to learning more about Stormgate's universe from the perspective of the Human Vanguard. These missions are playable solo and, in the future, will be playable cooperatively as well. Please note: all Campaign missions will continue to be updated during Early Access.
- Vanguard Campaign - Chapter 2 & 3 Missions
Take your campaign experience even further with all three chapters of Human Vanguard missions! Featuring three (or more) missions per chapter, these missions will be playable solo when they are released, with co-op support added in the future. As with Chapter 1, Frost Giant Studios intends to update and polish each Campaign mission throughout the Early Access period.
- Gold Vanguard Army Accent
Add a little extra bling to your Vanguard uniforms with this special golden accent.
- Chicken Supporter Pet
Welcoming this feisty feathered pal to your base is a great way to show your support for the Frost Giant team!
- Firestorm Fog of War Shader
When the Infernal invasion decimated nearly all life on Earth, survivors described it as "a world ablaze." Please note that this fiery cosmetic option provides no tactical benefit to either player.
Please note: Vanguard Campaign Chapters 2 & 3 are coming soon! They will become available in the months following our Early Access release.
IMPORTANT: The Early Access Pack grants you access to Stormgate during the July 30-August 12 Preview period. It also unlocks level progression for any included Heroes. This DLC is non-refundable.
Features
- Epic story missions
Earth didn’t stand a chance. Our story begins hundreds of years in the future, after alien invaders hellbent on claiming this planet as their own poured out of the Stormgates and brought an end to the world as we knew it. Yet humanity survived.
As the demonic Infernal Host returns to unleash havoc once again, Earth’s defenders must gather their courage—and climb into their mechs—to save the world. It’s up to you to pick a side, harvest resources, build your base, and command mighty armies to decide the outcome.
- The first truly social RTS
Whatever your favorite game mode, you can play Stormgate with friends. Campaign missions can be played cooperatively, Stormgate’s open-ended co-op mode supports 3 players, and even 1v1 competitive players can make social connections through the built-in tournament system.
- The next generation of RTS competition
Stormgate carries forward the RTS genre's storied legacy of world-class esports. Enjoy advanced matchmaking for players of all skill levels, featuring a competitive 1v1 ladder where your abilities will be put to the test against similarly-skilled opponents around the world.
When it comes to competition, we've got you covered: set up your own tournaments, participate in grassroots events, or qualify for professional esports matches, all from directly within the game.
- Free to play – Never pay to win
Stormgate is free-to-play so that everyone can enjoy the fun of RTS. Support the development of additional optional content that you enjoy, without ever paying to remove nuisances or gain an advantage.
- Unleash your creativity in the editor
Craft your own custom missions and mini-games in our powerful and user-friendly editor. Draw terrain, create scripts, modify units, and publish your map for the community to play. Gather data about your content to take your creations to the next level. Make something fun, share it with the world, and be rewarded for your effort and creativity.
