#1: interview with Peter Tamte CEO Atomic on future of CC Author: 7A_Bjorn, Posted: Sun May 08, 2011 7:56 am — March 11, 2009
As for the company's rich history: "It amazes me -- there's still a very vibrant Atomic community out there," Tamte muses.
Much of that community is centered around the acclaimed and influential Close Combat series of real-time tactical wargames.
"The last commercial Close Combat game shipped many years ago, but still there's a community out there," says Tamte, adding that he hopes the company can reengage with those longtime fans.
Currently, the series licensed to wargame-oriented publisher Matrix Games, which still releases new content for the existing games and updates their engines.
But Atomic itself intends to return to the series, Tamte promises, although its current project is unrelated. "In the future, we definitely plan on making Close Combat games again, refreshed with brand new technology," he notes.
My comment: Now that Breach is out (Jan 2011), perhaps Atomic can form a team to develop CC6. I sure hope so.

I don't think they're releasing CC6 anytime soon nor far and I don't really care...
