Rob Zacny Posted January 21, 2023 Three Moves Ahead 581: A Look Ahead to 2023 Len, Rowan, and Mike Gillis take peek ahead at the roster of strategy games that are maybe, probably, or definitely coming out (or coming out of Early Access) in 2023. We also take an aside for some informed speculation on what some suspiciously quiet heavy-hitters like Total War and Civilization might be concocting.

A lot of people moved on to Paradox strategies that aren't usually about winning or outsmarting AI but about telling a specific story and achieving something. But if you want something closer to Civilization - Old World does that well enough. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
