The Unexpendables - Jagged Alliance: Rage! coming this fall Vienna, Austria, August 14th, 2018: We are all getting older. Nothing bad about that, right? Well, the knees might hurt sometimes, seeing things far away gets a bit harder, and – oh, boy! - the heart is not as strong as it used to be. But we wake up every morning, go to work, business as usual: killing some bad guys, igniting the odd rebellion, overthrowing another evil dictator… https://store.steampowered.com/app/463170/Jagged_Alliance_Rage/ That's what the mercenaries of Jagged Alliance have been doing these past 20 years. And now Ivan Dolvich, Helmut "Grunty" Grunther, Kyle "Shadow" Simmons and the other infamous fighters have a mission again when they're stranded behind enemy lines: survive! In Jagged Alliance: Rage! you are constantly on the brink of breakdown. Badly equipped and outnumbered, it's up to the player to lead their seasoned mercenaries in tactical turn-based missions and to light the spark of a revolution. Jagged Alliance: Rage! - Announcement Trailer (UNCUT): https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-ELFWusk6Y8 Jagged Alliance: Rage! is the first game to be published by HandyGames, the latest family member of the THQ Nordic network.

• Steam achievements can now be earned while logged in with gamigo users as well
• Remaining gold for gamigo users has been converted to cash.
• Adjusted economy to improve merc hiring: mercs can now be hired for 8 hours instead of 4; reduced hiring costs; reduced HQ upgrade costs; increased chance to get valuable loot
• Fixed missions Economic Damage and Bread Crumbs. Players can now successfully walk over the bridges
• Clicking the News screen now displays the correct link to the forum
• Removed several references to gold
• Fixed UI inconsistency saying mercenaries are permanently hired when just prolonging their contract; fixed UI inconsistency about hiring mercs for 14 days There will be a short maintenance period tomorrow. More updates will follow when the patching starts.

Hi all, we had issues with the connection between the database and the servers that created subsequent malfunctions with the game server and your company state when starting a new company. We think we fixed the problems, but if you experience further issues, please let us know, so we can investigate. We are sorry for the inconvenience and we have been working all weekend to resolve the issue. Please let us know via the forum if still encounter problems.

As we have previously announced, JAO has been re-released under the name JAO:Reloaded after we managed to get the full rights back. The free to play version on Steam and gamigo have been disabled and the pay to play version has seen a major overhaul to get rid of any free to play mechanics and the silly grind. Again: THIS IS NOT AN ATTEMPT TO RECREATE JA2! It is a RE-RELEASE of a game we had made as a work for hire title, meaning we did not have full control over the design decisions. We did not want to abandonn it and have grown fond of it, so our team invested time to get a new version out that may also be attractive to new players who have not seen it before and allows existing fans to give it another spin. This version features: • A new end-game contract called „UXO“ for you to explore. It's a ship in the desert... • Increased drop rate of cool items in missions by 50% • Doubled backpack space for mercs to go with the increased drop rate of items • Changed a lot of values for crafting, armory, currency exchange ratio and other economy factors to get rid of grind • Adjusted balancing in missions which were more difficult than surrounding missions • Company can now be reset to start over • Fuel has been removed from the game • Fixes for Leaderboards getting stuck • You can get up to 32 Achievements on Steam • You can earn Trading Cards / Badges • Changed contract time of mercs from real time to game time, so you don't lose your team if you are on vacation for a bit What does the update mean for previous f2p players? Everyone who has previously had an account saved has been transferred to the new servers and can continue to play. YOUR DATA IS SAFE. We will keep everyone's company and progress exactly as it was! Gamigo users will be able to use their old account by adding a -gamigo extension to their game starter (via Library/game/Settings). Steam users who have purchased the campaign pack or Shadow or Ivan DLC can simply continue to play and will receive the update as well of course. We sincerely hope that this will allow people to give the game another spin - which also means PvP will become more viable, as it is an extremely cool gameplay experience!
