Frost Giant Studios, founded by former Blizzard Entertainment developers who worked on StarCraft, has revealed some new gameplay and details for Stormgate, its upcoming free-to-play RTS. The pre-alpha footage showcases some units, like the Scout, a robot dog that acts as a scout unit and can detect units beyond its range.
It also displayed the Lightforest, which conceals light units and is impassable by heavy units. However, develop some mechs (which can be dropped onto the battlefield with air units), and they’ll bust through the trees. Of course, this is only the tip of the iceberg, as Frost Giant plans to reveal more modes, including team-based competitive play and three-player co-op vs AI.
New factions beyond the humans showcased, details on Story Mode, and more are also coming later this year. A closed beta is taking place in July, so interested participants are advised to wishlist the game on Steam and go to its official website to sign up.
