Firestorm an upcoming first and third-person shooter video game developed by Totem Arts, that aims to reimagine Tiberian Sun in the shooter genre. Originally announced as Renegade X: Firestorm as a new game mode to Renegade X, Firestorm has become its own standalone project. The game was slated for release in fall 2020, but was delayed to 2022 with an open beta focused around the infantry-based "Firestorm Assault" game mode planned in the summer of the same year.

Firestorm is set in a reimagining of the Second Tiberium War, with elements taken from the eponymous Firestorm expansion pack and Tiberium Wars. Unlike the traditional C&C mode in the original Renegade and Renegade X, the main game mode of Firestorm is based on the conquest game mode found in large-scale modern military shooters such as Battlefield. Players will be able to construct buildings and expand by conquering outposts throughout the map.

Development

Firestorm was originally announced as Renegade X: Firestorm on June 20, 2020, and was to be a major expansion to Renegade X that would feature content from Tiberian Sun. Firestorm was heavily inspired from Tiberian Aftermath, a defunct mod for Battlefield Vietnam which aimed to create a Tiberian Sun FPS. Several of the vehicles from the mod were updated and ported into Renegade X as part of the Open Beta 5 release. Totem Arts realized that the design of the units from Tiberian Sun did not really fit the atmosphere of Renegade X, so they redesigned each unit to feel more grounded and authentic in the game.
