A new real-time strategy game from former Starcraft 2 and Warcraft 3 developers has blitzed past its Kickstarter target, amassing funds of over $2 million.
This means Stormgate backers have unlocked new elements like profile portraits, “advanced hero customization,” expanded personalities for bots, new three-play weekly mutators to mix up gameplay, and many more stretch goals for new features on Kickstarter.
Stormgate’s astounding Kickstarter campaign took place even after it was fully-funded for launch. “This Kickstarter is in part a response to fan requests for a way to purchase a physical Collector’s Edition of Stormgate,” the Kickstarter page reads, so Frost Giant Studios' game really has gone above and beyond with this campaign.
Billed as a “hyper-responsive real-time strategy game,” Stormgate will feature an ongoing campaign, a 1v1 mode, a 3v3 mode, three-player online co-op, a “powerful editor,” and much more. It’s even called a “Blizzard-style RTS” by Frost Giant Studios, which gives backers a great idea of what they’re in for. In fact, the new game is even called a “spiritual successor” to the likes of Warcraft and Starcraft.
Stormgate’s going to have an entire year of early access, while Frost Giant Studios is busy working away on elements like the editor, the 3v3 mode, the game’s different factions, and more. There’s no word on when this early access period will start, but after it’s over, Stormgate will hopefully be in a position to fully launch.
