FAQs
About Insight Interactive & Ownership
No. Heroes & Generals was originally developed by the Danish studio Reto-Moto. Insight Interactive is not affiliated with Reto-Moto or the original development team.
Insight Interactive is an independent publishing and production effort organizing a clean Unreal Engine rebuild of the Heroes & Generals experience. The project is being built from the ground up with new code, new assets, modern systems, and a partner-led development model.
Insight’s role is to define the vision, coordinate production, build development partnerships, guide the project’s public direction, and pursue the trademark rights associated with the HEROES AND GENERALS name.
This is not “Heroes & Generals 2” or a continuation made by the original studio. It is a new production effort designed to preserve the core identity of Heroes & Generals on a modern foundation.
Development & Plans
Insight Interactive’s Heroes & Generals is best described as a clean rebuild of the original experience, not a direct sequel, remaster, or reuse of the old game.
The project is being built from the ground up in Unreal Engine with new code, new assets, and modern systems. The goal is to preserve the core Heroes & Generals identity, including large-scale World War II combined-arms gameplay, faction warfare, vehicles, strategic war-map direction, and its recognizable art and asset style.
This is not “Heroes & Generals 2,” and it is not simply a visual update. It is a new technical and production foundation designed to carry the Heroes & Generals experience forward while improving stability, progression, balance, presentation, and long-term support.
Partnerships & Collaboration
Insight Interactive is leading the project’s vision, production direction, partnerships, and public development path, with Zackery Oleson serving as founder and producer.
The project currently uses a partner-led model. Individual Unreal Engine developers and specialists may be hired for focused assignments during Stage 1, while the longer-term goal is to partner with an experienced development studio capable of providing the broader multidisciplinary team needed to produce the playable vertical slice and support future production.
Insight is not presenting itself as a large internal development studio. Its role is to define the project clearly, coordinate the work, manage partnerships, protect the production direction, and ensure that each stage moves forward with appropriate scope and accountability.
The official development partner for the vertical slice has not yet been selected. Additional details will be shared once agreements are in place.
Legal & Copyright
Yes. Insight Interactive is developing Heroes & Generals as a clean, independently created rebuild using new code, artwork, models, audio, and systems in Unreal Engine.
The original Heroes & Generals source code, Retox engine, artwork, models, audio, servers, and other proprietary materials are not being reused or redistributed. Insight’s trademark efforts relate to the HEROES AND GENERALS name and branding, not ownership of the original game’s copyrighted materials.
The project is being structured to respect the rights associated with the original game while maintaining a separate technical and artistic foundation. As development progresses, Insight intends to continue using appropriate contracts, licensing review, and legal guidance where necessary.
Community & Communication
The email newsletter is the fastest and most detailed way to receive major development updates, milestone news, and important project announcements.
You can also follow Insight Interactive through the official Discord server and community forums for ongoing discussion, feedback, and project communication.
The newsletter signup, Discord server, and community forums can all be found on the Insight Interactive website.
Future & Vision
The long-term goal is to build Heroes & Generals into a stable, sustainable online game that can grow over time.
That means continued support, regular updates, balance improvements, new content, technical maintenance, and ongoing communication with the community.
The project is being designed around a leaner production model and a modern technical foundation so future growth can be handled responsibly without repeating the structural problems that held the original game back.
The goal is not simply to relaunch Heroes & Generals, but to give it a durable foundation for long-term development and community support.
Addressing Concerns & Legitimacy
The first crowdfunding campaign will have a defined purpose: funding the official development partner and production of a playable vertical slice.
Before the campaign launches, Insight Interactive intends to publish a clear scope, funding goal, budget categories, expected milestones, and known risks so supporters understand what their contributions are intended to accomplish.
Funds will be managed through an established crowdfunding platform and directed toward the work described in the campaign. Supporters will receive ongoing updates about production progress, major milestones, and meaningful changes to scope or schedule.
Crowdfunding always carries risk, so Insight will not present contributions as guaranteed purchases or promise outcomes that have not yet been demonstrated.
