Electronic Arts (EA) is bringing 25 of its classic games to Steam and GOG, offering quality-of-life updates for $4.99 each and Anniversary Editions for $9.99 each. These updates include support for modern systems, controls, improved performance, and enhanced approachability, without altering the games' original content. Among these re-releases, seven Wing Commander games receive Anniversary Editions, thanks to the dedication of the community who collaborated with EA's team to incorporate mods into the official releases.
EA's statement highlights that anyone who already owns a digital copy of these Wing Commander titles on GOG or the EA App will get the Anniversary Edition upgrade for free on their respective digital platform. The Anniversary Editions for these games were made possible after the digitization of thousands of media assets, recovering the lost Master FMV sequences for seven legendary titles.
In addition to Wing Commander, the Ultima series, created by Richard Garriott, also receives re-releases, with the Ultima I: The First Age of Darkness being one of the games included in the list.
