Late last year GSC Game World, known in the West as the studio that developed the STALKER games, returned from self-imposed exile. Today the studio announces its next title, Cossacks 3, a remake of their real-time strategy classic.

I have no idea how I found the original Cossacks. It may have been when I wrote gaming reviews when I was younger and this was one of the ones I reviewed, but this was by far one of my favorite games. I’m excited about this coming back.

Cossacks? Where is the next S.T.A.L.K.E.R.???

I’d say there’s finally a fair chance of it coming eventually. I reckon it would be a much more expensive project, though. Don’t forget this company was reduced to almost nothing at one point. Cossacks might very well be the thing they’re doing to be able to grow the company and make S.T.A.L.K.E.R. 2 their passion project.

As a child, I loved Cossacks and I spent hundred of hours with it. Close to the time spent with Heroes 3. They don’t do RTS like that anymore. Not with the same depth and detail.

Oh my god, the memories! Cossacks was my first "competitive" game and set the tone for an obsession with 1v1 RTS until I jumped ship and started playing MMORPGs.

Since I forgot to include it in my initial post…. PT 60 anyone?

So basically it did the one part of Total War games I care about, but a long time ago.

Awesome, although…Cossacks never looked as good as in these screens:)

Is that a Cossack shooting a peasant in the fourth image? Whoa.

So many genres have been getting rejuvenated in the last few years, as so many ‘old-school’ games have been crowdfunded. Glad to see the early 2000s-style RTS finally getting some love. It was in my opinion the golden age of the genre.
My favourites were Blitzkrieg, Rise of Nations and Stronghold personally and I never got to play Cossacks, but my brother did and it’s one of his all-time favourite. And lookie here, first we get Blitzkrieg 3 and now this! It’s high time the classic RTS was also revived. Will definitely be watching this one closely as an RTS fan.

This is great news. I only played Cossacks a bit, but I loved the hell out of American Conquest, which I guess was a continuation of sorts to the series.
There are still tons of features that it had that I have yet to see in RTS made all these years since.

That’s why this sounds familiar! I only played a bit of cossacks, but I got way way into American Conquest. Those games were intesnsely unique, unlike any other RTS out there. Really pumped to see how this turns out.
