STAR WARS EMPIRE AT WAR 2 LICENSE

To his surprise, Morris explained that he has spoken with EA, and while all hands are on deck making the new Command and Conquer collection as great as it can be, there’s clear interest at the company in revisiting Empire at War. In this Reddit post by MegaJake95, he sent an e-mail to Morris asking about whether or not the possibility of a remaster, sequel, or reimagining of Empire at War could actually happen at EA, noting that their sudden interest in the long-dormant Command and Conquer IP makes it seem like developing more RTS games could be on the table.

As it turns out, the person asking him was not a journalist, but a fan! The Petroglyph Games developer has been involved with multiple prior Command and Conquer titles, so it seems inevitable that someone would ask him about whether or not there would be a new Star Wars game made in the same genre. Ted Morris directed the original Empire at War, and his name has recently popped up in the spotlight with last year’s announcement that the original Command and Conquer game, along with Command and Conquer: Red Alert, would be getting 4K remasters.

However, it does not seem like this is the end for Star Wars games in this format, as the director of Empire at War has discussed the possibility of making a sequel to the game with Electronic Arts, who currently have an exclusive license to make Star Wars games until the end of 2023. Star Wars is a genre that’s been well-suited for the real-time strategy (RTS) genre, so it’s weird to think that the last time that it’s been done in a computer game format was with 2006’s Star Wars: Empire at War and that game’s expansion, Forces of Corruption.
