Tempest Rising is an upcoming real-time strategy game being developed by Slipgate Ironworks and 2B Games and published by 3D Realms. Announced in 2022, a set release date has yet to be officially revealed. The game is a traditional RTS inspired by classic titles such as Command & Conquer and StarCraft. Its gameplay loop involves base building, resource collection, and unit production.
Tempest Rising is set in a fictional 1997, in a war-torn world that has been taken over by an anomalous plant which many call "Tempest". Two factions wage a global war over control of this resource: the Global Defense Forces and the Tempest Dynasty, while a mysterious third faction lurks from the shadows and may be related to the origin of the Tempest itself.
The game features:
- A Classic RTS – Classic RTS action meets modern production and performance. Inspired by RTS greats of the 90s and 2000s, the game is a classic, base-building real-time strategy game with fast and fluid hard-hitting combat.
- Three Unique Factions – Three asymmetrical factions, each offering its own distinct economy, playstyle, and unique roster of units.
- Two Story Campaigns – An epic story, told in combat and with in-engine cutscenes. Take on the role of Commander in the highly mobile peacekeeping corps of the Global Defense Forces or the hard-hitting Tempest Dynasty as the two wage war over the Tempest.
- Multiplayer – Skirmish, custom games, and ranked multiplayer matchmaking with Elo rating.
- Customization – Built-in customization options that allow players to approach the game their way in both singleplayer and multiplayer game modes.
