I liked JA MIA. I know removing TB from JA is like killing your sacred cow for some of you but I enjoyed that pause and play system MIA had. It played more like frozen synapse .

Most dev teams might have learned their lesson from Divinity 2, X-Com and other turn based games and their popularity. The only reason to be semi-optimistic about this project. Time will tell.

Can't wait to play innocent mercenaries fighting for greater good.
Because they won't bring varied characters from original JA2 am I right? No racists, sexists and extroverts.

Oh, that could be pretty cool I think. Elex turned out pretty good, as Spellforce 3 apparently, so that might be something to look out for. ;)

THQ Nordic were just the publisher for those so it's not really relevant for this project, we don't even know who's developing it, yet.
We do: whomever pitched the cheapest project.

It'll be different this time. Plus, they can make it for two bucks in half a year, honest.

It doesn't look like announcement is imminent or something. Probably it's just a parking page?

I wonder if their own Grimlore Games (which just released Spellforce 3) will make a new JA game. Will they bring Ian Currie from Turbine? Or at least listen to his advices unlike one of the past publishers? ("I was once asked to consult on a game and the game needed a lot of work. They didn't really respond to any advice so I gave up pretty quickly.")

Really all you need for JA3 is Silent Storm with more gun porn and a more modern setting (Even a prequel to JA1 set in the 70s or 80s could work). Modern devs would still fuck it up.

3D graphic with overhead rotation, penetrable walls and materials, gun-porn and vest porn[the ALICE from JA2 1.13 is brilliant!], turn based with time units, or real time with pause[but it would have to be very well done]. Small scale special forces hit and run operation -so no tanks like it was in original. Base management, helipad. Theres so many possibilites, its just mind boggling. It would be a crime against humanity if they didnt make another JA game.

It's a tricky situation about new enemies. Because probably they'll be dindus or latinos. And they should be isolated. Post-Soviet block pseudocountries ruled out because no islands there and JA just don't seem right in landlocked countries. Carribean or Metovira-like imaginary island is a safe option but again, MUH MINORITIZ.

It'll be banned in China and they won't like to lose their market. Gooks even banned Hearts of Iron IV because it showed that China was in shitty state with warlords, crappy military and Chang as a main military leader. It is not like gooks will not pirate it but with steam regional discount chineese market is still huge.

They can go with something like Rhodesia or Chechnya, where you your enemies will be evul white farmers and evul russian soldiers. Or all the way with noble moderate headchoppers vs Not-Assad regime.

Steve gets a Kidney but I don't even get a tag.

We wake up every morning, go to work, business as usual: killing some bad guys, igniting the odd rebellion, overthrowing another evil dictator…

Jagged Alliance: Rage! is in development for PC, PlayStation 4 and Xbox One and will be released fall 2018!

Jagged Alliance is back: with a new take on turn-based tactics, adventure elements and the well-known quirky mercenaries! Set 20 years after the first Jagged Alliance, this spin-off lets you experience a road trip into a jungle hell to test your mind and body to the limits!

Friendship with THQ Nordic now broken.

Who knew? THQ Nordic proved they can trigger both Codex and Bethesda (lawyers) at the same time.
