Rebellion announces that Battlezone 98 Redux is the title of their recently announced Battlezone remake, saying this will be released on Steam this spring (fall for those down under). They celebrate the news with this trailer showing off the high definition visuals in the action/strategy remake. Here's word:

Independent UK developer and publisher Rebellion has revealed the name, gameplay and launch window for its much anticipated remaster of Battlezone (1998) - one of the greatest sci-fi strategy titles ever made.

Launching on Steam for PC this Spring, Battlezone 98 Redux keeps the core rush of first-person action and RTS gameplay that earned widespread critical acclaim, and blends it with remastered visuals, online multiplayer and the potential for near limitless new content with support for Steam Workshop mods.

Made by devs from the original Battlezone (1998)
Battlezone (1998)’s revolutionary gameplay fostered a community so strong they continue to develop mods for the game to this day.

To ensure Battlezone 98 Redux remained faithful to the community, Rebellion enlisted the developers at Big Boat Interactive, who include three developers from the 1998 Battlezone game and played a key part in keeping the community alive for 18 years.
