Tempest Rising Video: What Is

The demo was loads of fun and the full game is almost here.

With just two weeks to go until launch, Saber Interactive’s 3D Realms label, Knights Peak, and developer Slipgate Ironworks have released a four-minute video crash course to their upcoming RTS game Tempest Rising. The trailer introduces players to the central narrative conflict, single-player and multiplayer game modes, core gameplay mechanics, and warring factions.

“What Is Tempest Rising” Video:

Tempest Rising transports you to a battle-scarred 1997 in an alternate timeline where the Cuban Missile Crisis went nuclear. In the fallout from the war, a strange, red, electrical vine known as Tempest spread across the planet and changed the course of history, awakening an ancient race lying dormant known as the Veti.

Experience the gripping story of two unique factions across two epic campaigns with deep and rewarding gameplay that keeps the focus on strategy and skill, plus original music from legendary Command & Conquer composer Frank Klepacki.

Lead the highly mobile, advanced peacekeeping corps of the Global Defense Forces or the hard-hitting Tempest Dynasty in both single-player and multiplayer modes. Take full command of the battlefield as you build up your base, lead your armies into combat, and execute bold strategies to emerge victorious.

Tempest Rising launches April 24 on Steam, but those who pre-order the game’s Deluxe Edition can start playing seven days early on April 17. For more information, visit https://tempestrising.com.
