Frost Giant Studio’s RTS, ‘Stormgate’, took part in ‘SteamNextfest’ and released a playable test plan.
‘Stormgate’ has steadily attracted the attention of RTS fans since its release. This is because the core developers who developed RTS at Blizzard Entertainment gathered again after leaving the company and established ‘Frost Giant Studio’ in 2020. However, as this is the studio’s first work, it took some time to realize its true nature. was revealed, and it was only recently revealed bit by bit.
The biggest feature of ‘Stormgate’ is that it follows the rules of RTS, which is now classified as a classic genre, while also keeping in mind the current market trend of the season system. Frost Giant Studio has announced that Stormgate will basically be run as a free-to-play game, and that it plans to introduce new campaigns and content each season. The content in the game released so far is similar to StarCraft 2, but it includes three-player co-op, 1:1 and 3:3 PVP, and a map editor that is always included in Blizzard’s RTS games . Currently two types of factions have been revealed, but it has been confirmed that there is one more faction that has not been revealed.
Meanwhile, Blizzard’s core developers founded a number of development companies after leaving the company, and although some of them have closed, most of them still continue to develop new games. Among their works, the one released before ‘Stormgate’ was ‘Marvel Snap’ by ‘Second Dinner’, founded by ‘Ben Broad’. Going back to the past, Flagship Studio’s ‘Hellgate: London’ also belongs to this category, and currently, Bonfire Studio, founded in 2016 by Rob Pardo and Josh Mosqueira, and Dreamhaven, founded by former CEO Mike Morhaime, among these. I share this news occasionally.
This ‘Steam Nextfest’ will run for about a week from February 5th to 12th, local time. SteamNextfest is an event held to promote and play test upcoming releases and indie games, and all players can play the participating games freely during the event. It was displayed a total of 1,174 times in this Steam Nextfest, and in addition to Stormgate, you can play ‘Dungeon Stalker’ and ‘Homeworld 3’ by Action Square (Studio HG).
