If Activision *did* inherit full ownership of the Pharaoh IP from Vivendi Games (who *may* have inherited it from Sierra who *may* have inherited it from Impressions Games.

Video game intellectual property contracts are generally garbage and can be tough to make sense of, which is why it's a miracle Pharaoh even made it onto Steam at all. They might be strictly limited to publication. There's definitely no shortage of decent city-building simulation games out there, but when it comes to literally any city sim that ISN'T set in the modern era, there's been so few that it feels criminally negligent.Īctivision currently owns the publishing rights to Pharaoh but I'm not 100% sure if that would allow them to make a remastered version. I personally would love a Pharaoh remaster.
