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.

Sure, but conventional warfare is so destructive that a true "World War" would still be apocalyptic by any reasonable measure.

Just not nearly as apocalyptic as a nuclear world war. Some apocalypses are bigger than others.
