Harebrained Schemes appeared at the Paradox Interactive Showcase with a trailer for a new game: The Lamplighters League. The title is heading to Game Pass.
Harebrained Schemes is back with a new project. During the interactive Paradox exhibition the creators of the shadow race trilogy and BattleTech announced the league of lanterns. The first trailer for the game can be seen below.
The game will take place in an alternate reality of the 1930s., in which a tyrannical cult called the Banished Court has existed for millennia. Villains who wish to take over the world are only hindered by the titular organization, made up of the greatest heroes the world has ever seen.
Unfortunately, the league has already run out of the best, so the organization must now tackle the worst. Therefore, the team that we will lead in tactical skirmishes will consist of various monsters, villains and various people that no self-respecting hero would like to be seen with.
Along with the trailer, the developers have also released a short The Lamplighters League gameplay with commentary. An announcement on Paradox Interactive’s official website reveals that the The game will interweave real-time “stealth” sequences with tactical engagements and base management. So there will be a lot of stealthy, silent elimination of enemies (like in the Commandos series), as well as shooting and exploding around the neighborhood in a way reminiscent of XCOM.
the league of lanterns will debut this year. The game will be released on Xbox Series X/S and PC. (on Steam, Epic Games Store and Microsoft Store). Besides, will appear on PC/Xbox Game Pass.

He started his adventure with GlobeLiveMedia in 2015, writing in the editorial department, then also covering movies and oh, horror! – technology (also a contributor to the Games Encyclopedia). He started with platform games, which he still loves (including metroidvania), but he also likes card games (including “analog” games), fighting games, soul games and virtually any other kind of game. Don’t ask about the graphics: after a few hours of exposure, you can revel in pixelated game characters reminiscent of the days of the Game Boy era (if not older).
