Slitherine, makers of the new PanzerCorp owns now the rights for the "Close Combat" franchise and is working on a new CC!

Quote:
We're delighted to announce we have acquired the Close Combat franchise, code base and everything associated with it. This is great for us, great for the game and great for the fans! It will be the last release on the old engine and in 2013 we'll be moving ahead with a Unity engine version. Panthers in the Fog is a full new game, not based on any existing CC game.

Overview:
Close Combat: Panthers in the Fog is the latest release in the critically acclaimed Close Combat series. It details the desperate German counter-attack at Mortain, the last chance of the Wehrmacht to stave off defeat in Normandy. Can you match the tenacity of the American defenders of Hill 314? Or can you succeed where the Panzers failed, driving through to the sea and changing history?
Play single battles, linked operations, or even the Grand campaign simulating all six crucial days of fighting. With 35 linked battlefields and historically accurate formations and units, strategic choices are as important as tactical prowess. New features of long-range interdiction, strategic high ground and adverse weather conditions bring an insight into the challenges faced by those who commanded both sides in this pivotal WW2 battle.

I love this series, but I love what Atomic did with it. I'm always wary of new devs taking over an old IP, but with CC, there's no reason to change what it is. Looks like they're sticking to the forumla... and the same engine.

I trust in Slitherine thumbsup
When they change to the new 3D Engine they say it will stay to the "over the top" view, on default, you can change the point of view minimal.

I'll probably pick this one up. I have always been a fan of the CC franchise.
