Well, sort of. Tempest Rising&#8217;s third faction <em>is <\/em>playable now in the RTS, but only in beta, and only for the next two weeks.<\/p>\n<p>That third faction is The Veti, an alien race with ancient Egyptian stylings originally encountered in the latter third of the single-player&#8217;s parallel campaigns. They&#8217;re radically different from the RTS&#8217; existing human factions\u2014the technologically advanced GDF and industrious, inventive Tempest Dynasty\u2014summoning buildings rather than constructing them, and attacking their enemies with laser-toting floating pyramids and ground troops that shoot bees.<\/p>\n<p>Slipgate explained how the Veti function in a<a data-analytics-id=\"inline-link\" href=\"https:\/\/store.steampowered.com\/news\/app\/1486920\/view\/532116339592004298?l=english\" target=\"_blank\"> Steam post<\/a>, outlining three fundamental mechanics. First, the Veti can convert slain enemies to their side, reanimating fallen units as thralls called the Enlightened. These undead drones can then sacrifice themselves to help the faction in an array of different ways. In other words, the Veti can use dead enemies as a resource.<\/p>\n<figure class=\"van-image-figure inline-layout\" data-bordeaux-image-check >\n<div class='image-full-width-wrapper'>\n<div class='image-widthsetter' style=\"max-width:2495px;\">\n<p class=\"vanilla-image-block\" style=\"padding-top:51.06%;\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" id=\"QbGxZeVKWbSJqMTyJenX65\" name=\"sanctifier\" alt=\"Concept art of the Veti's superweapon in Tempese Rising\" src=\"https:\/\/arcader.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/12\/tempest-risings-playable-third-faction-has-invaded-its-beta-branch-as-its-developer-commences-testing-for-the-next-two-weeks.jpg\" mos=\"\" align=\"middle\" fullscreen=\"\" width=\"2495\" height=\"1274\" attribution=\"\" endorsement=\"\" class=\"inline\"><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div><figcaption itemprop=\"caption description\" class=\" inline-layout\"><span class=\"credit\" itemprop=\"copyrightHolder\">(Image credit: Slipgate Ironworks)<\/span><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p>This plays into the second of the Veti&#8217;s distinct systems, their approach to expansion and upgrades. The Veti can expand their territory across the battlefield via the Caretaker, a flying unit that creates build radius beneath it. Alongside this, the Caretaker can construct ascension anchors, which you can sacrifice Enlightened at to upgrade existing structures. But Enlightened can <em>also<\/em> be sacrificed in the field to provide combat buffs, so you&#8217;ll need to decide where your mindless minions are best disposed of.<\/p>\n<p>Finally, the Veti have a unique approach to harvesting Tempest\u2014the game&#8217;s equivalent of C&#038;C&#8217;s tiberium\u2014which is that they don&#8217;t just yank it all from the ground. Instead, they cultivate it sustainably, meaning a Tempest field will never run out when farmed by the Veti.<\/p>\n<p>Overall, The Veti&#8217;s roster features nine buildings, seven vehicles, six infantry units, five air units, five defensive structures, and five specialist units. On top of that, they get their own superweapon\u2014the Sanctifier Portal. This massive energy altar vaporises nearby units when it spawns and deals constant AoE damage around it. It can also sustain itself by targeting enemy units and consuming them entirely.<\/p>\n<p>The Veti are available to play in Tempest Rising&#8217;s public test branch from now until December 15. As for when they&#8217;ll come to the game permanently, or whether they&#8217;ll be multiplayer exclusive or have a campaign of their own, Slipgate Ironworks is yet to specify.<\/p>\n<div class=\"product\"><a data-dimension112=\"fa9e8d3c-048e-4e1d-9f9a-a41f0e536c6c\" data-action=\"Deal Block\" data-label=\"2025 games\" data-dimension48=\"2025 games\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow\"><\/p>\n<figure class=\"van-image-figure \" >\n<div class='image-full-width-wrapper'>\n<div class='image-widthsetter' style=\"max-width:400px;\">\n<p class=\"vanilla-image-block\" style=\"padding-top:100.00%;\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" id=\"Vji3V6i3HDWUHeQ22PrjFL\" name=\"New Project (8).jpg\" caption=\"\" alt=\"\" src=\"https:\/\/arcader.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/12\/tempest-risings-playable-third-faction-has-invaded-its-beta-branch-as-its-developer-commences-testing-for-the-next-two-weeks-1.jpg\" mos=\"\" align=\"middle\" fullscreen=\"\" width=\"400\" height=\"400\" attribution=\"\" endorsement=\"\" credit=\"\" class=\"\"><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/figure>\n<p><\/a><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.pcgamer.com\/games\/new-games-2025-upcoming-pc-release-schedule\/\" target=\"_blank\" data-dimension112=\"fa9e8d3c-048e-4e1d-9f9a-a41f0e536c6c\" data-action=\"Deal Block\" data-label=\"2025 games\" data-dimension48=\"2025 games\" data-dimension25=\"\"><strong>2025 games<\/strong><\/a>: This year&#8217;s upcoming releases<br \/><a href=\"https:\/\/www.pcgamer.com\/the-best-pc-games\/\" target=\"_blank\"><strong>Best PC games<\/strong><\/a>: Our all-time favorites<br \/><a href=\"https:\/\/www.pcgamer.com\/the-50-best-free-pc-games\/\" target=\"_blank\"><strong>Free PC games<\/strong><\/a>: Freebie fest<br \/><a href=\"https:\/\/www.pcgamer.com\/best-fps-games\/\" target=\"_blank\"><strong>Best FPS games<\/strong><\/a>: Finest gunplay<br \/><a href=\"https:\/\/www.pcgamer.com\/best-rpgs-of-all-time\/\" target=\"_blank\"><strong>Best RPGs<\/strong><\/a>: Grand adventures<br \/><a href=\"https:\/\/www.pcgamer.com\/the-best-co-op-games\/\" target=\"_blank\"><strong>Best co-op games<\/strong><\/a>: Better together<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/article>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.pcgamer.com\/games\/strategy\/tempest-risings-playable-third-faction-has-invaded-its-beta-branch-as-its-developer-commences-testing-for-the-next-two-weeks\/\">Source<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Tempest Rising developer Slipgate Ironworks has officially introduced superweapons into its action-packed RTS, adding massively powerful instruments of destruction for each of its factions.
