Shang-Chi actor Simu Liu will also voice the Infernal Host faction leader
We first got a glimpse of some of theunits on the Infernal Hostside of the Stormgate fence back in August during Geoff’s Gamescom Opening Night Live show. Warz is their leader, and he’ll be a recurring playable character in Stormgate’s campaign.
It’s been just over a year since Stormgate wasfirst announced, and developers Frost Giant Studios have been running various closed alphas in the intervening months. Just this week, the team launched their official Kickstarter campaign for the game, which took all of 15 minutes to fully fund, and by its second day it had raised over $1 million. Fair to say, then, that there’s a lot of interest in Stormgate.
There’s a closed beta running right now, too, showing off its three-player co-op and competitive 1v1 mode, and various streamers will bebroadcasting their matchesover the weekend if you’re keen to give it a look.
Stormgate will be free-to-play when it launches in early access next summer, and in addition to its competitive modes (which will go up to 3v3), it will also have what Frost Giant are calling a “living campaign”, which will regularly add new chapter missions that can be played solo or in co-op. Each faction will have its own unique campaigns, too, with new stories introduced over time.
