Timegate Studios' first games were in the RTS genre. The Kohan series of games, published by Strategy First in the early 2000s, were highly acclaimed titles at a time where the RTS genre was especially crowded with other games. In a new chat at Gamesindustry.biz (free registration required) Timegate's CEO Adel Chaveleh offers some hope for a Kohan revivial.

The interview, which is primarily about Timegate's decision to self-publish its future game titles, brings up the Kohan series at the end with Chaveleh stating, "We're not walking away from Kohan by any means. It'll see daylight again." The interviewer seems to push for an idea of a Facebook-based Kohan title but Chaveleh states, " ... we're not going to go chase and make a Facebook Kohan game just to say we did it - it's gotta make sense, and it's gotta be something new and unique." In the meantime all of the previously released PC games in the series are available for purchase and download exclusively at Timegate's web site.

Before they started developing first person shooter titles like the F.E.A.R expansion packs and more recently Section 8, developer Timegate Studios was best known as a maker of RTS game titles. This week the developer launched their own online store and are offering their first titles, the games in their acclaimed Kohan fantasy RTS series, available for purchase and download.

As far as we can tell, these games are not available on any other PC game download site (legally anyway) so Timegate is the only place to get these titles that were originally published by Strategy First. The first two games in the series, Kohan: Immortal Sovereigns and its stand along expansion Kohan: Ahriman's Gift (both released in 2001), are now available for $9.99 each. The games' 2004 sequel, Kohan II: Kings of War, is also available for $11.99. You can also get all three games in a new bundle package, Kohan Warchest, for $19.99.
