The rather very long wait for the sequel of the popular turned based tactics video game, Jagged Alliance 2, will soon be released. The Jagged Alliance 3 trailer was revealed last year, 18 years when it was first announced in 2004.

A year after that announcement, Jagged Alliance 3 was supposed to be turned based game but the developers suddenly changed that it will become a real time combat that enraged the fans of the game as they were attracted to it due to its turned based gameplay. The licensed to develop Jagged Alliance 3 was then withdrawn by Strategy Games and after years of fits and starts THQ Nordic in 2021 announced that the development of the game by Haemimont games during its 10th Anniversary Showcase.

The publisher and developer describe what the gamer’s challenge in the game is:

Grand Chien, a nation of rich natural resources and deep political divides, is thrown into chaos when the elected president goes missing and a paramilitary force known as “The Legion” seizes control of the countryside. Now, the President’s family has pulled together all their resources, including an arrangement with the powerful Adonis Corporation, to hire a group of skilled mercenaries tasked with finding the President and bringing order back to the country.

In Jagged Alliance 3, select from a huge cast of mercenaries all with their own unique personalities, quirks, and backstories. Then go out and explore Grand Chien as you meet new people, earn money, grow your team, and ultimately make your own decisions that will decide the country’s fate.

For Jagged Alliance 3, online cooperative game is introduced so the gamer can have a friend help accomplish the missions. It is said that this will be the true successor of the beloved turned-based strategy game. Familiar characters mercenaries Vicki Waters, Ivan Dolvich, and Fidel Dahan known as “bomb guy” will be back in the game.

While the release date has not been announced yet, it will be available on Steam for PC gamers when it’s ready. One thing for sure is that one of the beloved games in the 1990s will be back and it is not a remaster.
