Who owns the IP of wing commander? I.e. who hold the right to the series and such?

How come there isn't a new WC in the works? It was a fantastic series

I haven't noticed many new flight and combat flight simulators either comming onto the market.

Additionally, other entities have managed to get partial rights for limited uses. Chris Roberts has television/film rights for the WC1-4 era and Destination Software has the ability to remake older EA properties into Game Boy Advance games.
