Slipgate Ironworks‘ Command and Conquer-inspired RTS Tempest Rising will hit Steam on April 24, 2025.
Published by the (relatively) recently revived 3D Realms, this strategy title is a collaboration between Slipgate Ironworks (who usually create old school FPS) and 2B Games. If you feel that the music in the game’s trailers sounds like something you can somewhat recognize, that’s because Frank Klepacki of Command and Conquer fame (and by rights one of the best videogame composers on the whole planet) is in charge of creating the soundtrack for Tempest Rising.
Classic RTS action meets modern production and performance in Tempest Rising. Inspired by RTS greats of the 90s and 2000s, Tempest Rising is a classic, base-building real time strategy game set in a modern day alternative history war scenario. It features 3 unique factions, each with its own approach to combat and economy and offering a variety of strategies for players of all stripes, deep and rewarding gameplay that keeps a focus on strategy while rewarding skill, and built-in customization options that allow players to approach the game their way in both single player and multiplayer game modes.
Take on the role of Commander in the highly mobile and advanced peacekeeping corps of the Global Defense Forces or the hard-hitting and desperate Tempest Dynasty in 2 11-mission campaigns that allow the player to customize their army for each mission, as both armies seek to understand and control the mysterious but beneficial Tempest vines that grow unchecked across the war-torn planet Earth. Other dangers wait in the shadows, as the origin of the Tempest is revealed…
