Tempest Rising, the real-time strategy game developed by Slipgate Ironworks and published by 3D Realms and Knights Peak, was unintentionally released early on Steam. Originally slated for a full launch on April 24, 2025, the game became accessible to all players on April 17 due to an error with the planned seven-day early access for Deluxe Edition pre-order customers. Instead of revoking access for standard edition players, the developers decided to embrace the situation and officially moved the release date forward. Analytics Insight+3PC Gamer+3Saber Games+3
As a result of this early release, Deluxe Edition pre-order customers lost the exclusive early access benefit they had paid for. To compensate, the developers are working on new in-game content to make up for the lost privilege. Despite this hiccup, the game has received positive feedback, with a “Very Positive” rating on Steam and an 85% review score from PC Gamer. PC Gamer+1ComicBook.com+1
