A friend just sent information about [this game](https://www.epicgames.com/store/en-US/p/old-world) to me and I realize it’s brand-new, but does anyone have any further information about whether it’s worth the investment?

I hadn’t head of this so I googled and found this: [Old World is a 4X game for people who think Civilization is too long](https://www.pcgamesn.com/old-world/civilization-too-long).

Sounded like a game my a studio I never heard of, but that’s some legit pedigree and a middle ground between Crusader Kings and Civilization is intriguing. Probably not going to buy it though, but something to watch for sure.

I believe they did Fortnite. Whether that’s a plus or a minus is up to you. 🙂
