GSC Game World is working on Cossacks 3:

This information comes from Joe Willburn (he works at Vostok games and used to work at GSC Game World). He said that he had inside information.


They have a new site design: http://www.gsc-game.com/

Wow this looks promising. Cossacks 3 would be awesome!

*Drools*

Wow, I hope that is true. I also hope if they make a 3rd iteration that make it like a shinier, newer form of Cossacks 1 than 2 - I'd much rather that time span than just the late 18th - early 19th era of C2. Plus keep the city building of the first :D

Check this out!

Looks great! :)

Here is the Official site: http://www.cossacks3.com/index.php

Maybe they should change the logo, but the screenshots are awesome.

I really hope that GSC release on GOG as well as Steam!

Reminds me that I see no Cossacks 2 on GOG.... Not that I liked it when I tried it a little at my friend's place. Best of luck to the new game studio!

Just as well - Cossacks 2 felt to me as a very different beast!

Yes Cossacks 2 is really different from the first one, it has more realistic features like the new moral system with experience and fatigue, there are roads, you have to capture villages for most of the resources, Battle for Europe mode and a lot more bugs.

They have re-released Napolenic Wars and Battle for Europe on Steam, but the games still have a lot of bugs.
You get a message at every start saying " You have changed gamedata, Internet game will not be possible", when you haven't changed any gamefiles. The version of Napolenic Wars on Steam is 1.1 and not the latest version (1.2). In Napoleonic Wars the game profile won't be saved and the gameplay has a lot of lag.
In conclusion they haven't fixed the bugs in the re-release, maybe that's why Cossacks 2 series haven't been released here, at GOG.com.
In my opinion Cossacks 2 could be a good game, I like Battle for Europe mode quite much for example, but the game has too many bugs to really enjoy it.

I hope that Cossacks 3 will have a better support and frequent updates with bugfixes.
They have released a short video to show that the game has 3D graphics: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=o7XoVYGOlRQ

I loved Battle for Europe mode, but my game had this strange bug where my coal would start to deplete for no reason... :(

C2 was a bugfest.

Cossacks 3 will be available on 20. September 2016.
I wish it will arrive also on GOG soon.

My enthusiasm for CIII has somewhat waned after I learned they will make many DLCs, Digital Deluxe version, etc. Not to mention Steam exclusive. This kind of stuff is ruining PC gaming, imho.

:-(

Their statements and responses are erratic. I also distinctly remember them saying that you would be able to buy a boxed version instead and that the online-multiplayer would not be dependent on Steam. That does not seem to be the case anymore either. Mac and Linux versions are delayed. This developer leaves a bad taste in my mouth.

Disappointed too. Stinkworks spoiling the fun under its ironfist.

The graphics are eye candy but I hope that it is a remake while fixing many of the issues and benefiting of the RTS trends that weren't designed yet when C1 was released.
