EA Revival Plans? [Nov 08, 2021, 7:13 pm ET] – Share – Viewing Comments
Tom Henderson took
another
leak on Twitter. The credible source for pre-announcement announcements says
Electronic Arts is bringing back another beloved series. The way this is worded
leaves it unclear if EA is going to announce this tomorrow, or if he's going to
post more about it tomorrow:
New scoop tomorrow - EA is bringing back a game series that fans loved back in the day
Simcity 2022.
Hoping for a remake of Realm of Impossibility myself.

Starflight? Archon?

I like the stark contrast between the definitions of "back in the day" here and on Twitter, lol.

Did all of you forget Command and Conquer/Red Alert?

Tell me I'm not the only one who wants to see this.
I loved that game. I was working at EA when it came out. We had a video game library where you could borrow the games to take home and play. That was pretty sweet. Bioforge and Crusader: No Remorse came out at that point too - from Origin Systems - both games I really enjoyed at the time as well. A new Crusader series would be nice.

It's going to be Time splitters because it's the only game you can make into a BR and sell skins for easily.
Syndicate was already "brought back" once as a very, very mediocre FPS in 2012. It also had a spiritual reboot in Satellite Reign in 2014 with either one or a couple of the guys who worked on the OG Syndicate and Syndicate Wars.
I don't think it will be Syndicate.
I don't think it will be Wing Commander, either, given the rather small market for flight sims these days compared to the height of Wing Commander's glory days.
We could get extremely lucky and get a Jedi Knight Academy reboot/remake based on the engine in Jedi Knight: Fallen Order if EA still has the Star Wars rights.
