Tempest Rising is getting an expansion. It is called Veti's Wrath, it arrives this month, and the heart of it is a brand new campaign of 11 missions. There is no day circled on the calendar yet and nobody has said what it will cost.
Those 11 missions belong to the Veti, the third faction in the game: the one that turned up after the two it shipped with, the Dynasty and the Global Defense Forces. A campaign that long is reason enough to reinstall if you finished the original two.
It is also the moment a lot of people finally buy the base game, so here is the figure that matters for that. Steam asks €39.99, no fees, and the cheapest Steam Key is €24.81 with the coupon GCKG2AU1M4D (€25.10 with fees), at G2A.
An 11-mission campaign for the Veti
Two things are confirmed: the campaign runs to 11 missions, and it lands in September. The rest is blank. No exact date, no price, no word on which edition might include it later on.
The Veti leading an expansion makes sense. They were the late addition to a game that launched with the Dynasty and the Global Defense Forces facing off, so a campaign of their own is the first time they get to carry a story instead of being the third option in a skirmish.
Tempest Rising is a base-building RTS of the old school
If you skipped it, the short version: you harvest resources, you build a base, you push out with an army. It sits squarely in the Command & Conquer tradition, which is no accident for a game developed by Slipgate Ironworks and published by 3D Realms. It came out on 24 April last year.
The reception held up. On Steam it sits at Very Positive with 8,535 positive reviews against 1,275 negative, out of 9,810 in total, and Metacritic gives it 80. One thing to know before you go shopping: PC is the only platform. There is no console version to compare against.
What the PC version costs right now
We read the shops at 07:42 UTC on 16 September, and prices move every day. There are 32 live offers for the PC version. Steam is at €39.99, no fees, and Green Man Gaming matches it at €39.99, no fees.
Resellers go lower, and the gap is wide. The cheapest is the G2A Steam Key, standard edition, at €24.81 with the coupon GCKG2AU1M4D (€25.10 with fees). After that:
- Difmark Digital Keys, Steam Key: €31.21 with the coupon Gocdkeys (€32.61 with fees).
- GamesPlanet, Steam Key: €34.77, no fees.
- Eneba, Steam Key: €34.14 with the coupon Gocdkeys10 (€37.63 with fees).
- Driffle, Steam Key: €35.38 with the coupon GOCDKEYS10 (€37.06 with fees).
The order on the labels is not the order at the till. Eneba starts below GamesPlanet and ends almost three euros above it once the payment fee lands; Driffle starts higher than Eneba and finishes lower. GamesPlanet charges nothing on top, so what you see there is what leaves your account.
The Deluxe Edition is a smaller field: G2A has it at €42.71 with the coupon GCKG2AU1M4D (€43.00 with fees) and GamesPlanet at €43.47, no fees. We have not verified what it adds over the standard edition, so check the shop page before you pay the difference.
What the €1.67 at the top of the page actually is
Sort the offers by price and something odd sits above everything else: €1.67 at Difmark with the coupon Gocdkeys (€1.75 with fees). That is a shared Steam account, not a key. You are borrowing a login. The game stays in somebody else's library, never yours, and the day they change the password your access goes with it. G2A has one too, at €16.39 (€16.68 with fees), with the same catch.
For a game you are buying because of a new campaign, that is the wrong trade. The G2A key at €25.10 with fees is yours, it activates on your account, and it still costs €14.89 less than Steam wants. If you would rather see every shop side by side, you can buy Tempest Rising key from the price list on our page.
Buy now, or hold out for a discount?
Straight answer: our price history for this game mixes formats, keys and shared accounts in the same series, so a median built on it would describe something that is not a key. We would rather tell you that than hand you a figure that misleads.
What we can say is solid enough. Steam has been asking €39.99 since release and has not moved off it, and reseller keys are sitting above €24. An expansion is rarely the moment a base game gets cheap, so if you want the campaign at launch, the G2A key is the cheapest honest way in today.
If you are in no hurry, the other option is to set a price alert and let the shops come to you. Veti's Wrath is not going anywhere once it is out.
