Tempest Rising

Tempest Rising is a real-time strategy game developed by Slipgate Ironworks and published by 3D Realms for PC, releasing April 18, 2025. It draws on the design conventions of RTS games from the '90s and 2000s while aiming for modern production and performance standards.

The game is set in an alternate timeline where the Cuban Missile Crisis escalated into nuclear war. In the aftermath, a strange red electrical vine known as Tempest begins spreading across the planet, reshaping the course of history.

Players take command of base-building and army management, executing strategies across two campaigns tied to two different factions. The game includes customization options for both single-player and multiplayer modes, with an emphasis on strategic depth and skill-based play.
