Jagged Alliance Wiki


Jagged Alliance 3 is a game in the Jagged Alliance series that was released on Friday, 14 July 2023. It is developed by Haemimont Games and published by THQ Nordic.

Plot[]

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.

Development[]

Jagged Alliance 3 was first announced in 2004. Strategy First and Game Factory Interactive initially partnered with Russian studio MiST Land South to produce a sequel to the game. However, a year later, Strategy First withdrew the title from MiST Land South and began developing the title internally. In December 2006, Strategy First outsourced Jagged Alliance 3 again. The publisher, along with Russian developers Akella and F3games, were to create the game, setting an approximate release date of late 2008. As of October 2008 the game had been delayed again and Akella's website was displaying a release date of Q1 2010, but the studio also stopped developing the game in 2009.[1]

On March 9, 2010, German outfit bitComposer Games, now bitComposer Entertainment AG picked up the rights to the PC strategy series and started "preliminary development" on the third full game for release in 2011.[2] In August 2015, Nordic Games acquired the rights from bitComposer. On September 17, 2021, during the THQ Nordic 10th Anniversary Digital Showcase Jagged Alliance 3 was announced for PC, now in development by Haemimont Games. Haemimont Games initially pitched a spin-off project to THQ Nordic, but the publisher was very impressed by the studio's work and instead recruited them to create a mainline sequel instead. THQ Nordic recognized that previous attempts at reviving the series had received a very mixed reception and Jagged Alliance 3 was designed to cater to the "hardcore" fans of the series.[3] Unlike other strategy games such as the XCOM series, Jagged Alliance 3 will not inform players regarding the chance to hit an opponent or their responses to attack. The team believed the franchise should be about responding to unpredictable and chaotic combat situations, and an over-abundance of information may cause players to be too cautious and calculating. The game was released on July 14, 2023, for Windows and on November 16, 2023, for PlayStation 4, PlayStation 5, Xbox One, and Xbox Series X/S.[4][5] odding tools were released for the game in February 2024.[6]

Gameplay[]

Just like in previous Jagged Alliance games, the gameplay is seperated into a tactical map and turn-based combat. On the tactical map, you have to manage your resources and plan mercenary movement. When your mercenaries and enemies are on the same map tile, you can engage in turn-based combat against them. Use your action points and skills wisely, plan according to terrain and cover and win a over the map sector. After a sector falls to you, you can engage in plenty different actions there like repairing your equipment, talking to NPCs, or training militia.
