Stormgate, PC RTS From Ex-Blizzard Devs, Looks A Lot Like A Blizzard Game
Frost Giant Studios, an independent developer formed from Blizzard veterans, unveiled the title and look of its original real-time strategy game, Stormgate. A cinematic trailer shown during the Summer Game Fest Live showcase combined futuristic sci-fi and fantasy elements. You can now sign up for a beta set to begin in 2023.
Stormgate is built in Unreal Engine 5 and will be free-to-play. Frost Giant promises a full story campaign, in-client esports tools like 1v1 ranked matches and team-based 3v3 with unique win conditions, spectating tools, and an in-game editor. It's also aiming to be a more inviting RTS, with tools built to streamline the gameplay for newcomers as they become familiar with the genre. Frost Giant was founded in 2020 by Tim Morten and Tim Campbell, whose credits include Warcraft 3 and StarCraft 2. The studio had previously announced it was working on a new RTS franchise using UE5.

The alien race, which appears demonic, emerged from dormant Stormgates during powerful solar storms. The human race fought back, but the conflict left the world decimated.
