Unveiling Veti: Tempest Rising’s New Campaign Expansion Set for Release

Tempest Rising, the highly praised spiritual successor to Command & Conquer that launched last year, is back in the spotlight with exciting news for fans. While the game initially presented players with two factions—the GDF and the Tempest Dynasty—alongside a third, enigmatic faction known as the Veti, only the first two had their own unique singleplayer campaigns. The Veti, controlled by AI, left many players wondering when they would finally get their turn.

Developer Slipgate Ironworks has been keeping fans on their toes, hinting at plans to make the Veti playable. Now, the mystery is solved! The Veti will soon have their own singleplayer campaign, but here’s the catch: it will be a paid expansion titled “Veti’s Wrath.” This new addition brings 11 campaign missions, matching the size of the campaigns for the GDF and the Tempest Dynasty.

Although specifics about the campaign are still under wraps, Slipgate has mentioned that the initial missions will function as tutorials for the Veti faction, much like the base game’s campaigns. This ancient race, which has been resting beneath the Earth’s surface for ages, features a striking Ancient Egyptian vibe, which is reflected in both their design and gameplay.

The Veti bring a unique playstyle to the table, emphasizing themes of conversion and sacrifice. They have the ability to resurrect fallen enemy soldiers as “enlightened,” turning them into a resource that can be utilized to enhance structures and provide other strategic advantages.

While the official launch of the full campaign is set for later this year, eager players can dive into a taste of it right now! The Tempest Rising demo is available and includes the first two missions of the Veti campaign along with the initial missions for the GDF and Tempest Dynasty. It’s important to note that while players will need to pay for the singleplayer experience with the Veti, this faction will be accessible in multiplayer mode at no extra cost.
