Developing African economies were only beginning to recover from the COVID-19 pandemic when Russia's invasion of Ukraine provoked capital market turmoil and an inflation acceleration that sent food prices soaring. The continent, meanwhile, was already struggling with extreme weather events, including drought, flooding, and cyclones, aggravated by climate change.

Job listings and a few vague comments have made it fun to speculate about what the Wasteland 3 developers Inxile are working on very fun, and the official unveiling won't stop those discussions. Sure, the first discussions will probably be about Bioshock Infinite , as 's Victorian-era metropolis of Avalon brings back memories of Columbia with its pronounced steampunk aesthetic.
