Will there be a third game (soon)?

Title.

Currently the Devs are in the process/working/finishing of the Master of Magic Remake.

The only things we know about another Thea game at this point are that the Devs are looking to come back to their Thea universe at some point and have more ideas for it.

Really hope Muha get back to their own Thea universe soon. Their MoM game simply miss the narrative charm both Thea games had.

Here's a recent quote from discord for our steam enjoyers:

I will spill a little more beans and say the game will remain set in what we may call the Thea universe 😉 however, it will not be a direct continuation of Thea games... make of that what you will...

Hmm... I wonder if this is a hint on that hypothetical narrative focused 4X game set in Thea universe I once imagined. Anyways. It'll be nice to see Muha doing another passion project in their own universe rather than working with someone else's IP again. I'm not accusing of their MoM remake being a paid punch-clock job (which is totally fine if it is), but it certainly feels like one to me compared to their two Thea games.

I could live with a game similar to Pillars of Eternity/Baldurs Gate style in Thea universe, but I would gladly prefer a Thea 3 with a bit more direction to Civilization ,-),

The Devs have said they're working on a few teasers for us and eventually they'll start throwing some ideas around to us in the community for our feedback.

One could add to the ideas that when all the gods have different ideas, we move a little in the world according to them. In the first and second part it was such that it doesn't matter what you do. Unfortunately.

I don't know about a 4X. They just did one with Master of Magic, and the Thea setting doesn't really feel right for a "one faction conquers the world" scenario.

Something leaning more heavily into the RPG angle could be interesting if it keeps the eclectic nature of the groups you end up with in the previous Thea games. Another RPG with a party of "human this, elf that, dwarf the other" has been beaten to death and beyond; one consisting of (to pull some random things from my last Thea game) a wind elemental, a goblin shaman, a demonic pumpkin, a crazed scavenger with a pet rat, a werewolf, and a giant snake that happens to be friendly for some reason... okay, it doesn't have to be quite that oddball but you get the idea, and the setting actually works for something like that.

Obviously can't speak for everyone, but my problem with the MoM remake is less of it being a 4X game, and missing what I consider to be Muha game's biggest strength. Their randomised, but carefully written narrative events. I think a 4X game set in Thea's world with the same possibility for randomised personal, and quest event like both Thea games could be an interesting direction to take 4X games.

Regardless, I'm interested in whatever next project Muha game does so long as they have the creative control of the final product.

I'd personally love to see another game in the same vein as Thea 1 and 2, but with a different mythology as the backdrop. Japanese or Chinese would be cool.

There are already a lot of such games that delve into these mythological backgrounds.
It would of course boost sales for MuHa, but i would say Thea lose what it is.
Perhaps a greek mythology would be more appropriate. (Not roman pure greek.)

Another Thea game would be awesome. Maybe turned based combat and ditch the card battles. I would love that.

[Nasarog]

I think they are working on something "new and interesting" and I don't think it's a fantasy game, but a third Thea would rock!!!

To drop a little spoiler from discord...
It's a modern fantasy game, think Thea x Cyberpunk in the Thea universe (so we jumped a millenium or two).

Sounds cool, but fantasy is more my thing :)
