MuHa Games released Thea: The Awakening, a story-driven 4X survival strategy inspired by Slavic folklore in 2015. The game was a success and now we have an announcement that a sequel, Thea 2: The Shattering, is in the works with a preliminary release date set somewhere in 2018. Information about the project is rather scarce at the moment but the official website has several early screenshots, and a planned list of features:
- Co-op and single player gameplay – survive Thea with friends or solo
- New, deeper and improved tactical card game to resolve challenges and encounters
- Randomly generated, vast hex maps to explore
- Slavic mythology and folklore

Additionally, the folks at eXplorminate, who originally broke the announcement, have a more detailed description of the project:
