Hands up all of you who remember Sudden Strike, the real-time tactics series that was last seen on PC about six years ago. One of you? Well, it's making a comeback on the PlayStation 4 in 2017, with Tropico publisher Kalypso handling the publishing. Sudden Strike 4 will be developed by Hungarian developer Kite Games, and is due out on Sony's new-gen system next year.
Expect sprawling World War II battlefields with hundreds of units for you to control across three different campaigns featuring the British, American, German, and Soviet troops. There'll even be individual commanders for you to assume the role of, such as George Patton and Bernard Montgomery.
There's a trailer embedded above. Given the real dearth of strategy games on the PS4, this might just occupy a void – assuming that Kite Games can come up with a decent control scheme on the DualShock 4 controller. Are you eager for some tactical action? Plan out your next move in the comments section below.

RTS games are sadly pretty much non-existent on consoles these days so I'm hoping this is really good. Miss the good old days on psone, had a few classics on there.
Loved this game on the PC and this demo looks good, fingers crossed!
Okay now we're talking!! Havn't seen anything of it other than the trailer, was it received well on PC?
Love RTS and love my PS4 but really these two don't mix well. Not as well as RTS on PC anyway...
Looks promising, as long as controls are mapped well.
@Neolit I'd love another game from the Strike series. I always wondered, is that game Arnie endorses for mobile called Mobile Strike supposed to be part of that series? Not that I'd play it, but It shares some common elements..
Controls are everything of course, but this could be pretty cool. Looks to be much slower-paced, a bit like Commandos, which might suit a console control scheme a little better too I guess? Interesting! I did immediately think 'Desert Strike' as well though haha, loved playing that on Mega Drive back in the day.
@SegaBlueSky I'm still ace on Red Alert with the D-pad, can't see this being too bad with a controller.
Yes please, no more of the freedom battle crop that pops up on the store. We need this. Or I do anyway.
