Some AI tools were used to help with early ideation in the development process. AI tools were also used to assist in up-rezzing our portraits and adding facial animations. Final assets were all painted by artists. We have not replaced any developers with AI and believe that talented people lie at the heart of exciting games.

Plunge into the heart of battle as the ultimate battlefield commander fighting for survival in a science fantasy universe, where Earth’s fate hangs on the edge of oblivion.

Human defenders and their faithful robot allies stand defiant against two warring alien factions: a race of warlike demonic invaders and their technologically advanced angelic rivals. Together, these three are locked in a relentless struggle for dominance. Stormgate puts you in command of futuristic armies in epic real-time strategy battles.

Fight for the Future

Dive into the ultimate test of strategic warfare with three highly-asymmetric factions: the stalwart Human Vanguard, the relentless Infernal Host, or the highly-advanced Celestial Armada.

Team up with friends and command legendary Heroes to conquer the challenging AI in co-op mode, or test your mettle on the global stage in a hero-free competitive ranked ladder focused purely on player skill.

Next Generation RTS

Stormgate takes RTS gaming to new heights by harnessing the power of Unreal Engine 5, supercharged by our proprietary SnowPlay technology. This combination delivers an unparalleled responsive RTS gameplay experience. Our use of globally distributed servers aims to connect players from around the world, supported by advanced Rollback technology for silky smooth and stutter-free gameplay. This combination of cutting-edge technology and ultra-modern infrastructure mean you can focus entirely on defeating your opponents instead of struggling against lag.

Explore a Post-Apocalyptic Science Fantasy Universe

Stormgate’s story-driven Campaign drops players into the role of mighty Heroes fighting for the fate of the world. The free Vanguard prologue chapter includes three playable missions, with more campaign chapters available for purchase and new chapters to be released.
