New RTS Stormgate revealed at Summer Game Fest
You can check out the trailer below:
The cinematic shows off two of the game’s factions: The human resistance, and the Infernal Host. The former is comprised of technologically advanced archaeologists, while the latter’s demonic look gives off big Diablo vibes — perhaps fittingly. The cinematic shows the two battling over an artefact, with a mech suit facing off against a huge demon.
The developer’s Twitter account notes that incoming traffic has crashed the Frost Giant Studios site, suggesting plenty of fans are looking for their RTS fix.
Wow, our servers were NOT ready for that many visitors.
We’re working as fast as we can to get the site and our beta signups back online.
