In the August 2005 edition of "PC Gamer", it was announced that Gas Powered Games was developing "Supreme Commander", Chris's first real-time strategy game since 1997. It is described as the spiritual successor to "Total Annihilation", but was not able to be named as such because Atari (formerly Infogrames) owns the rights to the "Total Annihilation" name. Although Atari has shown no interest in reviving the "Total Annihilation" franchise, the company nonetheless held on to it until July 2013. He also helped create the game's standalone expansion "".
