Stormgate, a new RTS game created by former Blizzard members and senior developers of StarCraft II and Warcraft III, will be free to play on August 14 this year. If you participate in the closed beta test or purchase the early preview qualification, you can enter the game two weeks in advance. Loyal fans of RTS games should not miss this work!

The game is set in a post-apocalyptic world full of fantasy and science fiction elements. Human civilization has been destroyed by an alien race, and the precarious survivors are caught in an endless battle for sovereignty with the warlike demon race and the technologically advanced angel race.




There are four main game modes available in this preview of Storm Gate:

· Campaign Mode: Explore the evolving storyline, offering three free missions and more purchasable missions. For players who prefer to understand the story, you can choose to experience the game's campaign mode, which takes a comprehensive look at this magnificent cosmic war from the perspectives of characters from three camps.

Competitive Mode: Participate in 1v1 ranked battles. Hero-driven 3v3 mode (coming soon).

Co-op Mode: Take control of powerful heroes and team up with two other players to take on AI opponents, working together on maps with unique objectives.

Custom Games: Challenge other players to 1v1, 2v2, or try out the MOBA-like “Territory Wars” mode. (Editor coming soon)

Among them, 1v1 ranked competition is the core content of this game. For this purpose, the development team has created a new engine system SnowPlay, which not only provides a 64Hz simulation speed, but also adds the rollback technology of fighting games, so that players can enjoy a smoother operation experience in the game.


In addition, the game has also added assistant functions for automatic control groups and quick macro panels, which simplify input operations by assisting in managing the game economy and base construction, helping novice players quickly cross the high-operation frequency gaming threshold without lowering the upper limit.

Also worth mentioning is the game's custom mode, which allows players to switch to editor mode with one click in the game to create the maps, plots, and levels they want and create fresh game modes.


Although so much content has been mentioned, these are not the complete version of Stormgate. The game adopts EA's release model. Players can play all game modes for free on August 14, and all heroes can experience level 5 for free. The pioneer hero Blockade will be completely free to all players and can be upgraded to the highest level.

The development team will also continue to update the game content after the release. Players who want to support the development team can choose to purchase the game's campaign missions, unlock more progress for heroes, or adopt a cute in-game pet. It should be noted that the above content will not affect the fairness of the game. The development team promises that "Storm Gate" will be a game dedicated to fair competition and will not "pay to win."


Stormgate will be available for free on Steam on August 14th, and can also be played on other devices including Mac systems through NVIDIA's GeForce NOW cloud gaming platform. Buy the following version to experience the game content two weeks in advance. Players who are eager to join this cosmic melee of strategy and intelligence confrontation are welcome to join!
