There's some sentiment in the RTS sphere that we may be seeing a modest resurgence in RTS interest at the moment, led by upcoming titles like Tempest Rising and Stormgate. That AoE2's developers seem to be doing a great job with continuing to release new content for the venerable, still-popular title also helps (it even got released for Xbox recently), some Total Annihilation-like fans are <i>really</i> enthused about Beyond All Reason, and horde defense RTSes like They Are Billions and Age of Darkness seem to be gradually becoming more popular/common.<p>There's actually still a decent number of RTSes that get released each year, but...they generally don't make much of a splash, other than a few standouts like Age of Empires 4 and Company of Heroes 3 (though even neither of those has done terribly well really, especially the latter).
