At first I thought a new Tribes based on the name, but they don't have that IP anymore.

Oh, I'd love to see Irrational or GarageGames do another Tribes game.

Who owns Tribes IP now? I think Activision bought Sierra (and Sierra bought Vivendi, before that). So, does Activision have the IP? Or did it get sold off elsewhere?

I'm really curious what the heck Levine and IGB (Irrational Games Boston) is up to. Anything out of IGB seems to come out really good, at the very least. Bioshock 1 was a masterpiece.

GarageGames actually owns the Tribes IP now.

That's great! :)

Is Legions gonna be renamed to Tribes 3 or something?
I mean - Legions looked like a spiritual successor to Tribes 1 and 2.

Or are Legions and Tribes 3 gonna be two separate games?
