Battlezone 98 Redux is a remastered Windows version of the classic sci-fi first-person shooter (FPS) and real-time strategy (RTS) hybrid originally released in 1998. Developed by Big Boat Interactive and published by Rebellion Developments in 2016, this modern take revitalizes the iconic mix of vehicle combat and strategic base building for contemporary systems.
Set in an alternate Cold War-era space conflict, you command advanced tanks, APCs, strike cruisers and more in intense battles across moons and planets like the Moon, Mars, Venus and Europa. The game blends immersive first-person cockpit action with classic RTS mechanics — you harvest resources like alien bio-metal, construct defensive bases and deploy units, all while fighting enemies directly from the battlefield or commanding them strategically.
Two single-player campaigns let you play as American or Soviet forces through 29 missions, and online multiplayer supports 2–8 players with modes such as Deathmatch and Strategy. Visuals have been reworked for HD, including remodeled vehicles, enhanced lighting and particle effects. Steam Workshop support means you can add community mods, new maps, vehicles and more.
