Rebellion has been sharing bits and pieces of information for a few weeks explaining what has changed, and it’s worth pointing out that Battlezone 98 Redux is not a complete remake. Rebellion realised there was still a fan base for Activision’s classic and pulled in Mike Arkin who worked on the original to help revitalise the game (see interview). There’s the VR Battlezone game that’s coming, but Battlezone 98 Redux is what we’ve been playing. Rebellion acquired the Battlezone IP and decided to do something with it. What I remember the most is that I thoroughly enjoyed it, because it came along at time when both shooters and strategy games were super-popular, and Battlezone successfully married both genres. It’s been nearly 20 years since Activision’s Battlezone released on the PC and it’s been a weird experience jumping back into a game I haven’t played for such a long time.
