Tempest Rising Preorders; Demo

As part of the above-mentioned fest-ivities, Saber Interactive and 3D Realms announce preorders are now underway for Tempest Rising, saying this modern real-time strategy game will officially launch on April 24th, but that preordering the Deluxe Edition comes with a week of advance access. It can be purchased in advance on Steam, which involves a risk, but a new playable multiplayer demo accompanies the news to give a sample of what to expect. As noted, the demo is part of the RTS Fest, and will only operate until February 3rd. Here's the Pre-order Trailer and more:
During Tempest Rising’s first multiplayer demo, going on now through February 3, players can battle each other for dominance on three maps: Alps (2v2), Overgrown Oasis (1v1), and Altitude (1v1). Players can also experience the game’s PvE skirmish mode against AI opponents for the first time.

Tempest Rising transports you to a battle-scarred 1997 in an alternate timeline where the Cuban Missile Crisis went nuclear. Experience two epic campaigns with unique factions and deeply rewarding gameplay that keeps the focus on strategy and skill. Take full command of the battlefield as you build up your base, lead your armies into combat, and execute bold strategies to emerge victorious.
