An interview on Gaming Nexus talks with Elmar Grunenberg of bitComposer about Jagged Alliance: Back In Action, the upcoming revival of the tactical role-playing series. They ask why this is being revisited, and his answer asks "why not?":

The better question might be “Why not?” Fans (and we’re definitely fans), have been clamoring for a good remake of Jagged Alliance for nearly a decade. The game holds a special place in the dev team’s hearts, and is the kind of thing where you mention the name, and PC gamers immediately stand up and take notice. It just seems a shame to leave such a great franchise to wither and die, when we can bring it into a modern era, tweak it a bit, and make it a great title for both fans, and newcomers.

Obviously, we’d like everyone to enjoy the game, but if it came down to numbers, I’d say the intended audience is probably 70% fans, and 30% newcomers. But, anyone should be able to pick up and enjoy the game.
