On Monday we reported that Kalypso Media had taken over the publishing duties of Disciples 3 from its former publisher Strategy First. Today another Strategy First owned game, Jagged Alliance 3, also has a new owner in BitComposer Games. Indeed BitComposer claims they now own the full Jagged Alliance IP aside from a social networking-based game that's currently under development at Strategy First. Financial terms were not disclosed

BitComposer claims they are aiming for a 2011 release date for Jagged Alliance 3, a game that's been in development off and on for the past several years with a number of developers. The Jagged Alliance series is a turn-based strategy game with modern day mercenaries who complete missions and take down enemies such as military dictators. BitComposer says that for Jagged Alliance 3 they want to "preserve the popular basic concept of the previous versions and place it in a contemporary setting."
