EA revived 25 classic games. Among them are Road Rash and Wing Commander

EA has brought 25 classic games back to digital storefronts, including Road Rash, Wing Commander, and early Ultima titles: seven projects received anniversary editions with improvements for modern PCs, while the rest were released as original versions.

Classic Electronic Arts games have arrived on Steam, GOG, and the EA app. Among the updated projects are Wing Commander III and IV, Wing Commander: Prophecy, and Road Rash. The developers restored original video footage, improved its quality, and added modern features that streamline gameplay. Some games now support frame rates of up to 60 frames per second, modern controllers, and cloud saves.

The remaining 18 projects were released as faithful ports of the originals. Among them are Theme Hospital, Strike Commander, Crusader: No Remorse, and the early installments of Ultima.

There is an interesting backstory to this initiative. In 2022, an EA employee discovered an archive containing nearly 20,000 items, including original video recordings used during the development of the classic games. The team digitized about 2,500 hours of archival footage, which allowed many assets to be brought back into the updated editions.

Special discounts on the re-releases are available on Steam and GOG until November 19, 2026. In addition, owners of digital versions of Wing Commander games on GOG and the EA App will receive the corresponding anniversary editions for free.
