Development
3/info/jagged" target="_blank">Jagged 3/info/alliance" target="_blank">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 3/info/jagged" target="_blank">Jagged 3/info/alliance" target="_blank">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.
On March 9, 2010, German outfit bitComposer Games (now bitComposer Interactive) picked up the rights to the PC strategy series and started "preliminary development" on the third full game for release in 2011.
In August 2015, Nordic Games acquired the rights from bitComposer during their insolvency.
On September 17, 2021, during the THQ Nordic 10th Anniversary Digital Showcase 3/info/jagged" target="_blank">Jagged 3/info/alliance" target="_blank">Alliance 3 was announced for PC, now in development by Haemimont Games, the developer of the Tropico series. 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 3/info/jagged" target="_blank">Jagged 3/info/alliance" target="_blank">Alliance 3 was designed to cater to the "hardcore" fans of the series. Unlike other strategy games such as the XCOM series, 3/info/jagged" target="_blank">Jagged 3/info/alliance" target="_blank">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.
