Fantasy General 2 is bringing the long-running series back after the original was released in 1996, and Owned by Gravity's managing director Jan Wagner talked to us about the goals with this revival when we spoke at Gamescom, building upon his own memory of playing the strategy game two decades ago.

"We're actually trying to build on the game I imagined I played 20 years ago," he told us. "My memory was brilliant then. I played it today, it's still good, but a lot of things were lacking like the story, and all the variety I thought was there, wasn't really there. Just when I played it, I felt like that."

"And what we wanted to do is we wanted to create a game that I thought I'd played at that time. So we have all the variety, we've got the story, we've got the extra depth that was maybe lacking a little [...] creating a game that has the brilliant simplicity of the old one, but in a modern trapping that not only is 3D and looks like a modern game, but also feels like a modern game and has the variety of a modern game."
