Gameplay edit
Tempest Rising is a traditional real-time strategy game in which players build bases, collect resources, and field armies against opposing human players or the AI. Its gameplay is reminiscent of that of the Command & Conquer series and other RTS games of the 90s and 2000s.[6][7][8] Two factions, the GDF and the Tempest Dynasty, will be playable in the game's two campaigns, and a third faction has been confirmed to be available in multiplayer.[5]
Setting edit
Tempest Rising is set in an alternate 1997, thirty-four years after an exacerbated Cuban Missile Crisis left significant areas of the Earth irradiated. The Global Defense Forces (GDF) and the Tempest Dynasty struggle for control of the globe and a new mysterious energy source, the plant-like Tempest, which blooms in irradiated portions of the planet.[5]
Development edit
Developer Slipgate Ironworks is based in Denmark.[9] THQ Nordic announced Tempest Rising in August 2022.[10] A playable demo of the game was released in the following year.[11]
