Is this the sequel to Dime City I am waiting for since forever?

Combat looks like Xcom or wasteland 2 type of turn based combat with world building of your syndicate. Looks interesting with the the economy building of your syndicate, but I just wonder how deep the combat might be given the nature of the game being a more realistic setting. Will definitely give this a look though as more games along these lines are definitely welcome by me, especially on Consoles.

This looks amazing. We need more strategy games and city builders and shit just games like this. This could be done with so many time periods. Damn excited about this.

Empire of Sin: Brenda Romero spent decades noodling on this mob strategy-RPG
Brenda Romero of Romero Games has wanted to make a game about the 1930s Chicago mob for a long time. She is getting that chance with Empire of Sin.

I don't have a good feeling about this delay.
Just from the previews I read back in the fall of 2019, every preview seemed to emphasize the same points about your crew developing alcohol problems or possibly falling in love with rivals and catching VD - which would make them lose their mind, etc. Every time I read this and thought about random personal problems with your crew as a game mechanic, it just sounded like something that would get stale pretty quickly.
For me, this game would have had to have had a really compelling turn-based strategy component overlayed by an interesting economic/organized crime sim that didn't involve too much micromanagement in order to keep things going. It might be too much to ask (i.e. the turn-based strategy and high level economic sim might just be too ambitious), as this could easily become one of those games that has dozens of tedious micro-level tasks to cover in each turn.
Here's hoping I'm completely wrong though - as I would love to have a compelling new organized crime game set in 1920s Chicago!

This game looks so awesome, I didn't even know about it till I happened upon it when I was watching some video about John Romero....
I loved Jagged Alliance 2 and Civ and I love gangster films and all of that scene, we really don't have enough games about the Mafia and the Mob etc.
I mean Mafia 3 was a huge disappointment all round I believe....
I'll definitely get this on release, what a year for gaming!
