Fantasy role-playing 4x with tactical combat and a massive campaign map set in the SpellForce universe, whose other games I have enjoyed muchly over the years.

Pre-alpha below but looks strikingly good. Fingers crossed for this one, no definite release day announced yet. Published by THQ Nordic.

Came outta nowhere for me!

Already wishlisted last week.

Not familiar with Spellforce world but the description and the magic words "turn based" make it a contender straight away.

Decent developers too.

Looks epic to me. Didn't know anything about it until an hour ago!

RPS does a fairly in-depth preview. The attitude is to release when ready instead of on a schedule but they are targeting early 2023.

Never played the sequels but the original Spellforce was a solid game that cribbed from a lot of other games (Like HOMM) but managed to mix it into something that felt both unique and fresh.
Insert witty comment here.

^Yes I felt the same about the games in the series I played. This new one looks to be switching gears quite a bit.

Yeah I watched that interview by Rob on Youtube and I was encouraged by what I heard. But The Spellforce games have always promised a lot and delivered less then expected. I'm hoping this new team will breath some life into a great turn based game using the Spellforce IP. I'm cautiously optimist that this will be a good title.

Gusington

I agree about the 'less than expected' but even that was pretty good in most SpellForce games.

That demo looks VERY intriguing!  So long as they give us enough character classes, and introduce enough complicated game play pieces that interact together, this could be a very sweet game. 

I like the notion of a 4x that plays a little bit more like an RPG at times.  Fantasy games seem particularly suited to that theme.  I'll be watching this one very carefully.
