Stormgate News

As the final grains of sand slip through the hourglass, we're down to the last 24 hours of the Stormgate Kickstarter campaign. It's been an unbelievable journey filled with excitement, anticipation, and overwhelming support from all of you. Now, as we enter the home stretch, and with our public debut coming this February 5 during Steam Next Fest, we have a small, but special announcement to make this moment a little extra memorable.

The Stormgate Collector's Edition: Now with DOUBLE the Enamel Pins

To show our appreciation to our Kickstarter backers, we're excited to announce an upgrade to the Collector's Edition rewards. We're doubling the total number of exclusive enamel pins from 3 to 6! That's right – even more unique collectibles to celebrate your generous contribution to our team in support of the Stormgate universe.

And because we can't contain our excitement, we're sharing a sneak preview of one of the newly added pins, featuring our beloved Frost Giant Yeti mascot*. This little token of our journey together is just a small way to say thank you for being part of this adventure.



If you're interested in the Stormgate Collector's Edition or in becoming a Stormgate Founder and receiving beta access to Stormgate (you'll get in early, before Steam Next Fest!) then become a Founder today!

We're livestreaming some recent gameplay in anticipation of Next Fest from Feb 5-12.

This Steam Next Fest open beta playtest features two main game modes:
- 3P Co-op vs. AI mode featuring two playable Heroes (Blockade and Maloc)
- Competitive 1v1 (no Heroes)

Custom lobbies are also available for trying different maps.

Stormgate puts you in command of mighty armies fighting for survival in a new science fantasy universe. This playtest build includes two factions with a third faction coming to a future playtest in the months ahead, before the game's scheduled mid-year Early Access launch.

GLHF (Good luck, have fun!)

Stormgate Makes Its Public Debut at Steam Next Fest

We have super exciting news to share as we gear up for a major moment in the Stormgate journey. Stormgate will be part of Steam Next Fest!

Steam Next Fest takes place February 5–12, during which we will be opening up access to our closed beta, including full access to our ranked 1v1 and 3P co-op vs. AI modes. This marks the first time we have opened the gates to the public, offering everyone an opportunity to get their hands on the RTS we’re building with the support of our incredible community.

Early Access for Kickstarter Backers

To our incredible Kickstarter Founders, as thanks for your support, those of you who pledged to receive a Deluxe Founder’s Pack and above will get in ahead of the pack with a few days of early access to the Steam Next Fest closed beta. This is your chance to jumpstart your experience in Stormgate before the public gets in. You will also continue to have access after Steam Next Fest for the duration of the closed February beta, and during all future testing phases, including the first opportunity to playtest our third faction (later this year).

Not a Founder yet? You still have time to support the Stormgate Kickstarter. We’d love to have you with us throughout this exciting year!
