Tempest Rising is an upcoming real-time strategy video game developed by Slipgate Ironworks and 2B Games, and published by 3D Realms and THQ Nordic. The game is set to be released in 2023.
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. 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.
Setting
The game takes place after a nuclear war that has left large chunks of Earth irradiated. Two factions, the GDF and the Tempest Dynasty, fight over the planet and a new energy source, the plant-like Tempest, which grows in irradiated areas of the planet.
Development
Developer Slipgate Ironworks is based in Denmark. THQ Nordic announced Tempest Rising on August 12, 2022. A playable demo of the game was released in August 2023.
