Kite Games are gambling that they can introduce a new breed of gamers to the series by porting it over to the PS4. Coming 9 years after the release of Sudden Strike 3: Arms For Victory (the first game in the series to feature 3D graphics) Sudden Strike 4 is the most recent outing for an RTS series that has garnered both critical and commercial success on the PC.
