THQ Nordic announces
Jagged Alliance: Rage!, a new installment in the turn-based
tactics series coming to Windows, PlayStation 4, and Xbox One this fall. This
will be the first game published under their HandyGames label which they say
"will act as an independent publisher, focussing on small and mid-sized projects
or 3rd-party indie games." Word is: "In Jagged Alliance: Rage! you are
constantly on the brink of breakdown. Badly equipped and outnumbered, it's up to
the player to lead their seasoned mercenaries in tactical turn-based missions
and to light the spark of a revolution." Here's
a trailer
showing off cinematics and gameplay, and the
Jagged Alliance website is updated to
support the new game. Here's the announcement:
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!
This time it’s just you and a few allies versus an entire island ruled by a drug
overlord and his crazed army.
