Developer inXile Entertainment released the Gamescom 2019 trailer for Wasteland 3 during the Gamescom 2019 episode of Inside Xbox. It is dubbed “Patriarch of Colorado.”

Here is an overview of the game, via its official website:

About

From the creators of Wasteland 2 and Torment: Tides of Numenera comes Wasteland 3! Following the critically acclaimed releases of 2014’s Wasteland 2 and 2015’s Wasteland 2: Director’s Cut, fans have been clamoring for a direct sequel. Wasteland 3 is currently in development with a target release in spring 2020.

Key Features

• A party-based role-playing game, with a renewed focus on our trademark complex story reactivity and strategic combat.
• By including a player vehicle, environmental dangers, and a revamped, more fluid action system, we are evolving on Wasteland 2‘s deep tactical turn-based combat and unique encounter design.
• Play by yourself or with a friend in story-driven synchronous or asynchronous multiplayer. Choices open up (or close off) mission opportunities, areas to explore, story arcs, and lots of other content.
• Your Ranger Base is a core part of the experience. As you help the local people and establish a reputation in Colorado, quests and narrative will force you to make decisions on how to lead.
• The game will be set in the savage lands of frozen Colorado, where survival is difficult and a happy outcome is never guaranteed. Players will face difficult moral choices and make sacrifices that will change the game world.
• Wasteland 3 will feature a deep and engaging story utilizing a newly-revamped dialog tree system from the celebrated writers of Torment: Tides of Numenera.

For those who have played, how does it compare to wasteland 2?

On xbox; what is the 'zoom'/fov like? Going from steam to xbone for wasteland 2 was horrific (not a stab at MS, isometric games are usually poorer on console vs pc)

Is the Alpha being released on Xbox, I assumed it was only on PC?

I believe the full game will be released on PS4, Xbox and PC upon release as those were part of the original kickstarter or fig campaign. I think consoles usually do not get the alphas or beta demos so most likely the alpha demo is only on pc.

I'm more convinced now that inXile will never release a great game. I know its alpha but it looks rough and the performance is atrocious, especially the frame lags whenever an action is made. I'm pretty sure this will show up in full release as well. Wasteland 2 wasn't a technical wonder either.
