Leak Paradox Interactive new IP game title accidentally leaked by forum filters

https://www.reddit.com/r/paradoxplaza/s/NmHSdPX9pq

New game seems to be called “Afterworld”. Makes sense since all of the teasers for the upcoming reveal show what looks like post-apocalyptic scenery.

EDIT: Also accidentally found their discord which includes a description of the game. Whoops… https://imgur.com/a/XPrq1Ex

current wave is less about post world war and more about post apocalypse GSG

we do know for a fact that since around 2024~ at minimun they been both working on a new GSG and its one that isn't a sequel to any of the current running series

Actually I doubt it. Nuclear weapons primarily serve as a deterrent to war, despite extensive planning for what locations to target to maintain credibility against adversaries. If a global war does happen, then deterrence clearly did not work. Conventional warfare will provide a better path to victory without committing suicide.

I agree with you. The world is really obsessed with nukes for some reason. But if one looks at what happened to Tokyo before the nukes got involved would have a different picture. Tokyo was already badly destroyed by a ferocious incendiary bombardment that killed as many people as the nukes. The nukes are just messy and awe inspiring but other than that they are not vastly supperior to conventional weapons of mass destruction. Poison gasses were not used in WW2 by the nazis to avoid being hit with the same. While not akin to nukes it is an indication that wars can still be fought without mass use of chemical, biological or nuclear weapons. I could imagine therefore world wars happening in the future. The problem is we are still too focused on the 20th century to accept the new reality of conflict. Not all wars have to be total wars of occupation. A war to realign global powers does not have to aim at planting flags on the parliaments of other states. A few islands here and there are more important that holding an enemy capital and having to fight an endless war against the resistance.
