Where Did The Classic Franchises Go?

The German website gameZINE has posed a very good question: "Where is Electronic Arts with Wing Commander and Ultima?" They cite titles like Star Citizen and The Witcher 3 to demonstrate a resurgence in epic space sims and single player RPGs. Whether via remake or sequel, they agree with us that the brands still carry tremendous name recognition and have a legion of latent fans. CIC readers are well aware of this, but it's nice to see a little international confirmation! There is some potential for EA's Dragon Age and Mass Effect series to cause some internal competion in the RPG and sci-fi arenas, but there's plenty of precedent out there for companies to develop similar franchises alongside each other. The full article is in German, but you can check out a Google translation here.

Was Electronic Arts mit den Marken Wing Commander und Ultima vor hat, ist ungewiss. Doch wer weiß, vielleicht überrascht uns das Unternehmen und kündigt bald ein Spiel zu einer der Serien an. Wenn wir wetten würden, dann würden wir dies auf Wing Commander tun.
