After the departure from Jagged Alliance’s core mechanics with the Jagged Alliance: Back in Action remake – which was poorly received by fans – the Danish indie studio Full Control has now announced<\/a> a licensing deal with bitComposer Games to develop and publish a new turn-based strategy “multiplatform title” based on the “Jagged Alliance franchise”.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe are honored and excited to have been the confidence given by bitComposer to give the series a fresh new take whilst staying true to the core mechanics.\u201d ~Full Control<\/a><\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Released in 1994, Jagged Alliance, and then Jagged Alliance 2 (1999), are two iconic games that, along with X-COM: UFO Defense, helped shape the turn-based tactics genre. The visuals and some of its RPG mechanics also remind of Fallout, another iconic and great game released in 1997. Combat in Fallout is also turn-based.<\/p>\n

\u201cJagged Alliance (…) is one of the 3 games besides X-Com and Fallout that really defined the entire genre and is part of our DNA\u201d ~Thomas Hentschel Lund, CEO of Full Control.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n

Regarding bitComposer Games, which acquired the franchise IP on 2010, and developed Jagged Alliance: Back in Action (a Jagged Alliance 2 remake), it has now turned to licensing, and has chosen Full Control mostly due to their work on their single-player turn-based strategy game Space Hulk, set on the Warhammer 40K universe, to release later this year.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe have been keeping an eye on Full Control for the last couple of years and have been suitably impressed with their take on turn-based tactical gaming and in particular their awesome work in bringing the classic Space Hulk franchise back to life\u201d, said Wolfgang Duhr, Board of Directors of bitComposer Games.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Well, now this is awesome news for turn-based strategy\/tactical lovers. A new (true) turn-based Jagged Alliance to look for in the near future. It was announced as a “multiplatform” title, so, as the series was an iconic PC title, I think it’s safe to assume that it will be released for the PC.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
