The demo for Pompeii: The Legacy is now available on Steam, marking the most significant milestone yet on the road to the game’s full release. Developed solo under the Siscia Games banner, this title offers a unique city-building experience set in the Roman Empire, focusing on the legendary city of Pompeii. The story begins twenty years after the catastrophic eruption of Mount Vesuvius in 79 AD, placing players in charge of rebuilding the city from its ashes.

The demo features over two hours of campaign gameplay and comes with notable upgrades to visuals and user interface, enhancing immersion. English voice-over is included, along with localization in German and Japanese. Players will also discover new buildings and the fully integrated player customization and family systems. These features reflect the game’s aim to blend engaging gameplay with historical and emotional depth.

With a concept that merges strategy and storytelling, the game invites players to face the challenges of urban reconstruction while uncovering the personal stories rising from the ruins. In June, the demo will be updated to include the highly anticipated trade and sandbox modes, offering greater creative freedom and economic simulation elements.

Before that, on June 3, a new trailer will be revealed for Steam Next Fest, paving the way for the festival’s kickoff on June 9. This exposure is expected to expand the project’s reach among fans of historical and management games.

For anyone who has ever dreamed of rebuilding a Roman city or changing the fate of Pompeii, this is the perfect chance to take control and rewrite history.
