EA Producer Announces a 30th Anniversary Remaster of Wing Commander 3
EA producer Jim Vessella announced a remaster of Wing Commander 3: Heart of the Tiger at the Portland Retro Gaming Expo.
The game, first released in the 1990s, is a space flight simulator in which players take the role of pilot Christopher Blair.
Vessella said the remaster is planned for the game’s 30th anniversary, though no release date was given.
It is expected to improve the video quality, run at 60 frames per second and include enhancements made by the game’s community.
Vessella also said it will include “the Kilrathi Saga,” which may mean it includes all three games in the original trilogy.
The game features live-action scenes with actors including Mark Hamill and Malcolm McDowell, and has long been regarded by many fans as a high point of the series.
