Looking at the history of strategy games, there’s a handful of names that stand out as foundational — creators and studios didn’t just set the precedent, but continued to redefine it. While some of these developers have since shut down, like Age of Empires creator Ensemble Studios, others have continued to scrape by as scrappy innovators. Chief among those is Relic Entertainment, the studio behind some of the most beloved strategy games of all time, including Company of Heroes and Dawn of War. After splitting from Sega last year, Relic has now announced its new business strategy — and a big part of that could include bringing back those beloved games.
In an interview with GameDeveloper.com, Relic CEO Justin Dowdeswell said the studio intends to "explore opportunities" to bring its classic titles to modern audiences, using remasters, re-releases, or new experiences that "capture the spirit of the originals."
