EA has spent years squandering one of its most legendary properties: Command & Conquer. Four years ago, it finally did something with it, giving us the excellent Remastered Collection, but since then? Oof. EA has simply wheeled out the corpse of the series, shoving "iconic units" into another mobile game, Command & Conquer: Legions, to fill its coffers with microtransactions. No wonder, then, that I'm so excited about Tempest Rising.
This brisk RTS is "inspired by RTS greats of the '90s and 2000s", but it's a lot more specific than that. This is, at its heart, a modern C&C. Or at least it's aiming to be. It was meant to be in our hands in 2023, but it's hit some speed bumps and we've not really heard much from the team for a while. No new release date has been announced, but it ain't dead, at least. Indeed, you can take it for a spin right now.
