Gameplay

Third World was developed as a real-time tactical role-playing game with a 3-D graphics engine. [3] [4] [1] The game was set in the future on a decaying post-apocalyptic planet, in which the player leads a group of heroes as they struggle for survival against rival gangs in urban warzones. [3] Gang members could be Mutants, Androids, Cyborgs and Aliens, each having their own special abilities as well as character classes, and gain technology and artifacts while completing missions. [3] [4] [5]

Development

The game was in development at Redline Games, a company founded by programmer James Anhalt, designer Ron Millar, and other former members of Blizzard Entertainment. [6] [4] Millar was the game's lead designer. [3] Around 10 people were working on the game. [7]

Activision announced the game in April 1998 and showcased it at E3 1998. [6] The game was originally scheduled to release in late 1998. [3] [8] The release date was pushed to 1999. [5] Activision dropped to the game in April 1999 for unknown reasons. [6] The game was later cancelled in January 2000 due to a lack of funding. [9] [10]
