An upcoming RTS game from Warcraft and StarCraft veterans has managed to gain 1875% of its original Kickstarter goal, with just over two weeks left to go on its campaign.
Unsurprisingly, fans of Stormgate have unlocked a lot of the campaign’s stretch goals, including an additional tileset, HUD skin, a new player assist tool, and more. There are only two stretch goals left, and they’re for a Webtoon Series based on the game ($2 million) and an Editor Early Preview for maps, mods, and custom games ($2.25 million). At the rate we’ve seen this project take off so far, this could very well be reached in just over two weeks.
If this is the first time you’ve heard of Stormgate, let us catch you up. Some of the developers that make up developer Frost Giant Studios have previously worked at Blizzard, hence the link to Warcraft and Starcraft. The upcoming game is a “hyper-responsive” real-time strategy game that will place players hundreds of years in the future as they build a base, harvest resources, and command armies.

After studying Film Studies and Creative Writing at university, I was lucky enough to land a job as an intern at Player Two PR where I helped to release a number of indie titles. I then got even luckier when I became a Trainee News Writer at GamesRadar+ before being promoted to a fully-fledged News Writer after a year and a half of training. My expertise lies in Animal Crossing: New Horizons, cozy indies, and The Last of Us, but especially in the Kingdom Hearts series. I’m also known to write about the odd Korean drama for the Entertainment team every now and then.
