Paradox announced a new RTS/Tactics game called Cartel over at RPS. It's a sort of mish mash of XCOM style strategic map with research and diplomacy with real time tactics portion actually similar to classic Syndicate(which is now being made into an FPS). Paradox's Shams Jorjani told RPS in the interview "Well we’re making PC games! That’s what we do, right? And we watch the rest of the industry very closely while we’re doing that. We’ve of course noticed that there’s a trend that’s going on with AAA publishers (and actually the industry as a whole), where some companies are moving towards bigger and bigger AAA games, and others are going more and more casual in the Farmville direction. It definitely feels like a polarisation of where the companies in our industry are going. We feel, though, that the middle road, what Cliff Bleszinski says is the “dead” middle class of gaming, is where we are and have always been – cerebral games for smart gamers". The game is a strategy game that is centered around the concept of building up your future mega corporation into the biggest baddest Cartel. You can read the RPS interview for more info on the game. No solid release date other than a 12 - 18 month rought estimate of development time.
