'Jagged Alliance 3' Introduces Its Mercenary Fighters - Trailer

In Jagged Alliance 3 you take command of a mercenary force in the fictional country of Grand Chien - a land thrown into chaos after a brutal paramilitary force known as "the Legion" took over.

Back in 2015 THQ Nordic (then called Nordic Games) acquired the Jagged Alliance IP, and fans have been waiting for decades, to see the third edition of the legendary strategy franchise Jagged Alliance!

Jagged Alliance 3 will combine tactically deep, turn-based combat with exploration of a large game world with strategic elements including gaining control over territories, training local forces, and establishing multiple squads chosen from beloved mercenaries - all well known to fans of the series. Jagged Alliance 3 will have RPG-elements like special perks or level-ups for your mercenaries, as well as looting and customizing your arsenal of weaponry.

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.

In Jagged Alliance 3, you take command of an eclectic group of fighters, brought together as a rag-tag force to liberate Grand Chien. Motivated primarily by their desire to earn money (after all, they are mercenaries), it's crucial to pay them promptly, or they'll simply quit. Naturally, the more experienced and skilled a mercenary is, the higher their asking price.

Your task is to assemble the perfect team(s) for your mission. Each mercenary possesses their own unique personality, strengths, weaknesses, and powerful special abilities. By carefully considering these factors, you'll gain an advantage both on the battlefield and in the strategic aspects of your campaign. Some mercenaries excel as leaders, training militia soldiers with exceptional efficiency, while others are skilled medics or mechanics, completing crucial tasks swiftly and effectively.

Lastly, it's important to note that mercenaries interact with each other. Personal preferences and animosities can influence their performance. Therefore, it's wise to be cautious when assigning them together, as it may lead to unfavorable outcomes. In the new trailer, you'll catch a glimpse of intriguing fighters and their exceptional skills in action.
