Daybreak of Struggle Remaster? – WGB

Relic Leisure, a veteran studio that has been creating RTS video games since 1997, has had a busy couple of years. 2023 noticed them launching Firm of Heroes 3, after which in 2024 SEGA opted to promote the corporate. Now, after a number of months of being an unbiased crew, Relic has laid out its battle plan for the approaching years, and when mixed with some latest rumours it could possibly be very fascinating.

Mentioned plan consists of persevering with to help current titles equivalent to Firm of Heroes 3, except for the console version because they abandoned that shortly after announcing that they were going independent. The PC model, nonetheless, is getting extra updates and DLC. It might be one thing of an uphill wrestle as the sport remains to be affected by a “combined” ranking on Steam. With that said, I did quite enjoy it in my review.

However what I actually need to speak about is the part of the plan titled “Re-Imagining Classics.” Based on Relic, a part of their imaginative and prescient for the longer term is to”discover alternatives to deliver these traditional titles to trendy audiences. This will likely embrace re-releases, remasters, or brand-new franchise experiences that seize the spirit of the originals whereas interesting to a brand new technology of gamers.”

Relic Leisure has a reasonably sturdy catalogue of IP to tacke, but additionally fairly a restricted one, which means it isn’t laborious to think about what they could deliver. Relic’s assortment consists of Homeworld, Firm of Heroes, The Outfit and Unattainable Creatures. However the greatest, alongside Firm of Heroes, is the Warhammer 40k: Daybreak of Struggle franchise. Three video games have been made underneath the model, however the wheels got here off with the third sport which wasn’t nicely obtained and didn’t promote nice.

In 2004 my teenage mind was blown aside by a Bolter shot to the cranium. Not solely was I discovering the loopy world of women and hormones, however Relic Leisure had simply launched one of many biggest RTS video games ever.

The timing of Relic’s assertion is fascinating, and there have been a number of latest rumours {that a} new Daybreak of Struggle sport is being developed. A person on 4Chan posted about taking a survey from Relic that was making an attempt to gauge curiosity in a sci-fi RTS. The put up has since been deleted however the wording of the survey appeared to level towards Warhammer. The included images additionally drew some consideration as devoted followers identified that the terrain had a really Daybreak of Struggle vibe, particularly a cargo container which appeared to match ones utilized in the true Warhammer sport.

One other piece of stories adopted when a former Relic worker listed Firm of Heroes 3 and an “unannounced venture” on their bio. After all, that is pretty tenuous as its probably Relic would certainly be engaged on one thing else following the discharge of Firm of Heroes 3. However once more, the timing of this with the survey and now Relic’s plan leads me to imagine {that a} Daybreak of Struggle remaster/remake is definitely a really probably prospect.
