3D Realms and Knights Peak have together announced that a demo for Tempest Rising is now available as part of Steam Next Fest, ahead of the April 24th release date.
The demo will be available until March 10th, and the team says that: Tempest Rising’s Steam Next Fest demo features the first two missions from each of the game’s two single-player campaigns”, adding ” In a battle-scarred, alternate-history 1997 where the Cuban Missile Crisis went nuclear, you’ll experience fast, fluid and hard-hitting RTS warfare as both the Global Defense Forces (GDF) and Tempest Dynasty (DYN) factions, each with their own unique units and strategies. Players can also face off against the AI in the demo’s PvE skirmish mode, which features three maps.”
The game is actually also available now to pre-order, with both a standard edition and a deluxe (10 dollars more expensive), though it includes:
- One week of advanced access to the full game, including multiplayer and skirmish mode
- A digital artbook showcasing the art and lore of Tempest Rising
- The full digital game soundtrack, featuring 41 tracks from legendary Command & Conquer composer Frank Klepacki, plus community favorites like Michael Markie, Hexenkraft, Music Imaginary: Cielecki/Skorupa/Wierzynkiewic, and Sigurd Jøhnk-Jensen.
Classic RTS action meets modern production and performance in Tempest Rising. Inspired by RTS greats of the 90s and 2000s, Tempest Rising is a classic, base-building real time strategy game set in a modern day alternative history war scenario. It features 3 unique factions, each with its own approach to combat and economy and offering a variety of strategies for players of all stripes, deep and rewarding gameplay that keeps a focus on strategy while rewarding skill, and built-in customization options that allow players to approach the game their way in both single player and multiplayer game modes.
Take on the role of Commander in the highly mobile and advanced peacekeeping corps of the Global Defense Forces or the hard-hitting and desperate Tempest Dynasty in 2 11-mission campaigns that allow the player to customize their army for each mission, as both armies seek to understand and control the mysterious but beneficial Tempest vines that grow unchecked across the war-torn planet Earth. Other dangers wait in the shadows, as the origin of the Tempest is revealed…
Tempest Rising is coming to PC via Steam on April 24th.
