Jagged Alliance 3 revives the tactics franchise

Join independent journalists and industry decision-makers at GamesBeat NEXT, returning to San Francisco November 2–3. The event brings together 500 executives, founders, investors and tech leaders shaping the $200 billion interactive economy for candid discussions on gaming, entertainment, technology and AI, plus executive networking and opportunities to build partnerships and close major deals.

THQ Nordic revealed Jagged Alliance 3 during its 10th anniversary event today.

Haemimont Games, the studio behind Tropico 3-5 and Surviving Mars, is handling developer duties for this sequel. Jagged Alliance 3 is set to come out for PC at an unspecified date.

The Jagged Alliance series started in 1995 and was an early hit in the tactics genre. It had a sequel, Jagged Alliance 2, in 1999.

Since then, the series has had a turbulent history. We’ve seen some attempts to revive it, including 2013’s  Jagged Alliance: Flashback and 2018’s Jagged Alliance: Rage. Those games, however, flopped.

THQ Nordic noted in a briefing event that Haemimont approached the publisher with a pitch for something more akin to a Jagged Alliance spinoff. THQ Nordic was so impressed with the presentation that they proposed Haemimont finally make the actual sequel to Jagged Alliance 2.
