Stormgate is an upcoming real-time strategy video game developed by Frost Giant Studios.
Gameplay
Stormgate is a real-time strategy game set in a post-apocalyptic world. As standard for the genre, players concurrently gather resources, build bases and troops, and upgrade assets. The game will be free-to-play with free and monetized content. It is being developed to make a typically complex genre accessible to new audiences while providing the option of balanced, competitive one-on-ones for more advanced players.[2]
Development
Former Blizzard developers Tim Morten and Tim Campbell founded Frost Giant Studios in October 2020 with intention to build an accessible real-time strategy game. Morten previously was StarCraft II's production lead, and Campbell had been Warcraft III's campaign lead designer. They raised nearly $5 million in seed funding,[3] an additional $5 million in March 2021,[4] and $25 million in its January 2022 Series A funding.[5] Frost Giant debuted Stormgate in June 2022. A closed beta started during December of 2023.[2]
