Cold War-gone-hot RTS hopeful Regiments is something that I've been meaning to pay more attention to for a while, but keep forgetting about. It feels like the Wargame successor we've been waiting for, and doesn't have a legally troublesome game that would get it taken off Steam.
Win/Win, and now developer Bird's Eye Games' prospects are even better as it has been revealed to be the latest game to be picked up by the resurgent MicroProse.
This is the second signing the re-launched wargames label has announced since officially revealing itself back in May. It already had three titles in its stable: Second Front, Task Force Admiral and Sea Power, all of which were projects we already knew about.
In June the publisher announced they were entering the FPS arena when they signed two games by Drakeling; Warfare 1944 and Operation Harsh Doorstep. Along with the announcement of a B-17 Flying Fortress successor, adding Regiments brings the MicroProse squad up to seven (that we know about), which sets them up nicely to dominate the scene in 2021.
