Welcome to the future of RTS!

Stormgate takes place in an all-new post-apocalyptic game setting where science fiction and fantasy collide. The story begins hundreds of years in Earth’s future, following the near-extinction of humanity. The great calamity was caused by the Infernals—a playable alien race of demonic invaders hellbent on claiming this planet for their own. These otherworldly demons emerged from Stormgates—seemingly dormant portals that began pouring out demons during powerful solar storms. As the Infernals return to threaten humanity once again, humans must gather their courage—and climb into their 20-foot tall mechs—to save the world.

Explore an ever-evolving story through thrilling campaign missions where science fiction and fantasy collide—solo or cooperatively. Battle opponents around the world on our competitive 1v1 ladder. Team up with your friends to challenge the AI in cooperative modes. Get your hands dirty in the editor to build the game of your dreams.

Built in Unreal Engine 5, Stormgate will support high-resolution HD visuals in 4K and hundreds of unit models in epic, large-scale wars across a variety of maps and tilesets. The user interface is also being designed to make RTS more approachable by eliminating unnecessary inputs, automatically assigning units to control groups, and streamlining gameplay.

Frost Giant Studios has dedicated its initial engineering efforts to Stormgate’s core mechanics and gameplay fundamentals—the building blocks of any great RTS. Its custom-developed SnowPlay simulation technology enables crisp, responsive gameplay with smart pathfinding.

Stormgate’s powerful in-game editor arms creators with the same tools that Frost Giant is using to build the game, in a creator-friendly ecosystem where creativity and effort will be rewarded.

Frost Giant Studios announced that TV/film superstar, and avid RTS gamer, Simu Liu (Shang-Chi and the Legend of the 10 Rings, Barbie, Kim's Convenience) was chosen to play Warz, one of the leaders of the Infernal Host army and a recurring playable character in the  Stormgate story. 

The game's storyline was written in collaboration with visionary creator Chris Metzen, behind the Warcraft and StarCraft universes at Blizzard Entertainment. Warz appears in the final moments of the trailer, leading an Infernal invasion force.

“When I learned about  Stormgate, created by many of the people behind the games I grew up loving (and revered in many ways), I was very excited. So I looked to see how I could participate,” declares Simu Liu. “The most exciting thing about  Stormgate is that it is made by RTS fans. It's a game that, right down to its DNA, is made up of everything I loved in my youth. I feel like the experience will be very authentic."

“When Simu visited us at Frost Giant, we immediately noticed his talents as an RTS player. His passion struck a chord with us,” says Tim Morten, CEO and Production Director at Frost Giant Studios. “The interest  Stormgate  has generated among historic RTS fans is why we launched this Kickstarter campaign. With the support of the community, we'll be able to further expand the scope of our beta testing and fund a beautiful Collector's Edition for the game. We're also exploring other ways to get the game into your hands before Early Access, so stay tuned connected!"
