There is no safe for RTS. The genre is too niche and varied (yes I know that’s counter intuitive). StarCraft is already the safest formula but even then it’s not. There’s two very different games that really only share lore and some very minor mechanics. They could angle more towards Warcrafts style as it’s unlikely they’ll ever make another Warcraft RTS, but that’s not a safe call either.

Making any RTS is a risk right now.
