Stormgate is a RTS designed to be a successor to the likes of Warcraft III, StarCraft 2, and other classics of the genre. Created by a studio founded by former Blizzard employees Tim Morten and Tim Campbell, the two Tims have a veritable plethora of RTS design experience. And now they’re bringing it to Stormgate.

In doing this, they've clearly taken inspiration from the game's predecessors, while adding new ideas and features. The art style is clear and vibrant, and it seems like the idea is to mix fantasy with sci-fi elements, as demons and highly technologically advanced humans are the only two factions currently depicted in-game. Overall, we're excited, even with the lack of solid info!

Currently, we don’t have an exact date for Stormgate’s release date, but from what was hinted at the PC Gaming Show, it won’t be until 2024. However, there is a Closed Beta which releases later in 2023!

When does the Stormgate Close Beta start?

Stormgate’s Closed Beta will start in July 2023. Head over to the Play Stormgate website to sign up! And remember to wishlist it on Steam as well.

Stormgate gameplay

We were able to see some Stormgate gameplay at the PC Gaming Show on June 11. We’ve included the video below for you to enjoy!

Overall, this looks like some absolutely classic RTS action that brings back the classic micro and macro elements of things like Warcraft III and SC2. And it does this while adding new features and interesting mechanics.
