StormRegion was a Hungarian video game developer best known for the games Rush for Berlin and Codename: Panzers. They also have built their own game engine called Gepard with tools. In 2007, StormRegion was acquired by the German company 10tacle Studios AG. After a financially unstable 10tacle Studios AG ceased to pay salaries in April 2008, StormRegion lost its employees and was forced to close its Budapest office.{{Cite web |date=2008-08-22 |title=Angeschaut: Codename: Panzers - Cold War - Echt traurig... |url=https://www.pcgames.de/Codename-Panzers-Cold-War-Spiel-20174/News/Angeschaut-Codename-Panzers-Cold-War-Echt-traurig-657099/ |access-date=2022-11-17 |website=PC GAMES |language=de}}

In 2006, StormRegion initiated a lawsuit against Mithis Entertainment, claiming that former StormRegion developers who quit the company and joined Mithis have stolen sourcecode from the StormRegion engine.{{Cite web | url=http://index.hu/tech/szoftver/panzers1213/ | title=A Panzers fejlesztőit gyanúsítják a kód ellopásával | date=14 December 2005}}{{Cite web | url=http://www.levelup.hu/news.php?todo=details&vid=297 | title=Levelup.hu}}

The name "Stormregion" is an approximate translation of the Hungarian term "viharsarok" ("storm corner"), a historical name for the south-east (e.g. Békés county) of Hungary.

In 2015, former employees Péter Bajusz and Attila Bánki-Horváth (developers of S.W.I.N.E.) founded a new company called Kite Games.
