Gamigo and bitComposer have announced that development has started on a tactical browser-based MMO called Jagged Alliance Online. Developers have indicated that the new online version will keep many of the features of the original game including tactics, strategy, role-play and management. The game will feature turn-based battles and real time action as well.
The player takes control of a group of soldiers, commanding them from an isometric perspective to complete tasks in order to earn cash as well as renown. If a player wants to stay on top, mercenaries will need to be trained and equipped with better weapons. If that's not quite enough, then mercenaries can be borrowed from friends or alliances can be formed with other players.
A new Jagged Alliance Online site is now up where you can sign up for beta testing.
