Saber Interactive and 3D Realms released a new Tempest Rising trailer during Gamescom 2024 this week, this one focusing on the multiplayer aspects. It's been a long minute since we've heard anything significant about the game, but the team fixed that with a ton of new information packed in under a minute. The trailer specifically highlights the variety of multiplayer game modes they've created for PvP enthusiasts, as you'll have a plethora of team games that range from objective-based to free-for-all matches. We also get a better look at the two primary factions in the game, as you have a choice between the mobile and advanced peacekeeping corps known as the Global Defense Forces (GDF) or the aggressive and power-packing Tempest Dynasty (DYN).

Tempest Rising
Tempest Rising's multiplayer modes will offer something for all types of real-time strategy (RTS) fans, with configurable game lobbies where team setup, win conditions, starting credits, starting army size, and more can be customized in 2-4 player matchups. Inspired by the all-time classics of the RTS genre, Tempest Rising's single-player campaign and multiplayer game modes offer players full command of their armies as they build up their bases, lead their units into battle, and execute bold strategies to win. Seamlessly merging the classic action of RTS games from the '90s and 2000s with the production levels and standards expected of modern gaming, Tempest Rising offers an updated throwback to a dynamic alternate timeline.
