Been seeing a steep rise of RTS games in the past few years mostly because of the success of remastering the age series , while sadly the RTS remaster for warcraft that is wc3 reforged was a disaster which lets just say shattered any hope of even seeing warcraft 2 remaster.
Now I don't want this to turn into a crying post of warcraft getting treated badly by blizzard I mean come on its cow that has been milked and beaten to death , however back to our topic that is the RTS has been gaining more attention lately thanks to as I said the remaster of the age series , company of heroes 3 and most notably stormgate the spiritual successor of blizzard RTS games.
Stormgate seems to have been in a rocky start seeing people complaining a lot about the game in its early access phase hope was starting to fade but very recently the developers released a substantial update that enhanced the game graphics and many other improvements.
Also another RTS that is in the waiting is tempest rising the spiritual successor of the command and conquer series I would say this one is very important as you probably know the CNC franchise is the face of the RTS genre.
Overall the 2020s seem to be pretty good for RTS as its gaining back some mainstream attention 2024 specifically is pretty big as I said before stormgate is very anticipated
A question I want to ask maybe think a bit about it , if stormgate succeeds and so does tempest rising will we see a new golden age of RTS ?
Thanks for reading.

Although Microsoft has acquired blizzard which sparked hope to see a resurgence of proper care of RTS seen as Microsoft owns the age of empires series and has recently shown with age of mythology retold that a widely successful RTS is possible , we still haven't seen any major works on blizzard RTS titles as warcraft 3 barely gets attention.
However there is hope somewhere who knows after they are done with the remastering of the age of empires series maybe they could turn their attention to warcraft? Starcraft? All I can say there is hope for RTS to comeback people are so fed up with crappy games releases that something old school like warcraft 2 remaster would surely be send thunderous shockwaves of hype across older generations of gamers.

Guess I forgot about this so here we go , I was wrong yup I was wrong we did get a remaster for warcraft 2 did it live up to standards? More unit selection is nice , mission selection pretty nice , HP bars pretty good news especially for me as I always want to keep my unit HP visible to help wit micro focus fire etc.
Sadly I hoped for more , warcraft 2 isn't a bad game at all all we need is couple more improvements , rework the factions and it can be worth the price blizzard is asking for , it looks like warcraft 1 got a better treatment since that game was like ancient really ancient with its whole click M to move units.
What a let down by blizzard warcraft 1 and 2 is what made you and you put in barely any effort in updating these games? Yeah these people deserve to go bankrupt , pirate pirate and pirate piracy is the way to go.
