Relic Entertainment Charts a New Path with Smaller Projects and Classic Revivals
The independent studio plans to support existing titles, explore smaller-scale games, and reimagine classic franchises after its split from Sega.
- Relic Entertainment, now independent following its 2024 split from Sega, has announced a three-pillar strategy to guide its future development.
- The studio will continue supporting major titles like Company of Heroes 3 with significant updates and new downloadable content, including the Fire & Steel DLC launching this year.
- Relic aims to develop and release smaller, experimental in-house games within 1-2 years, allowing for faster turnaround and diversification beyond traditional RTS titles.
- Plans to reimagine classic games through remasters, re-releases, or new projects that capture the spirit of the originals are under consideration, though specific titles remain unconfirmed.
- The studio, backed by Emona Capital LLP, has streamlined operations and reduced staff but claims to be on stronger financial footing, focusing on sustainable growth and community engagement.
