Build a nation and lead your people throughout history to the pinnacles of human achievement as you explore new lands, develop arts and culture, conduct diplomacy, and go head-to-head with your rivals to prove you are the greatest ruler ever known.

Ara: History Untold, built by a team that includes many of the leads behind one of the most popular historical grand strategy games of all time, invites players to build and lead a nation throughout global history as they explore new lands, develop arts and culture, conduct diplomacy, and go head-to-head with rivals to prove they are the greatest leader ever known.

Players will become the architect of a dynamic, living world fully rendered and brought to life through the power of Oxide’s proprietary Nitrous Engine, where their play style and decisions will shape the world they create, the lives of their people, and their legacy as a leader.

Featuring both familiar and innovative gameplay mechanics, Ara: History Untold delivers an evolution in historical grand strategy with no pre-set paths to victory, leading to endless possibilities.

The choices you make will define the world you create, your experience and your legacy. It’s Your World Now.


Key Features:

  • EXPLORE AN IMMERSIVE LIVING WORLD: Explore a dynamic living world filled with life and charm across sweeping landscapes ranging from tropical jungles to sand-swept deserts as you discover the resources you need to develop your nation. Witness the world come to life in vivid, realistic detail as citizens move throughout the world and react dynamically to times of health and sickness, war and peace, wealth and despair with unique biomes, cultures, and eras that represent the diversity of the human experience.
  • BUILD YOUR NATION: Your land is your canvas – construct a variety of improvements from forges to libraries to citadels and cathedrals. Research diverse technologies. Optimize a richly detailed industrial and economic crafting system. Manage every detail, the output of a single mill, the citizen stats of a city, and the combined resources of an entire nation. Weave a future of infinite possibilities.
  • RULE YOUR WAY: Take up the mantle of history’s most influential figures and reshape the world through your choices. Will you rule the Egyptians as Queen Nefertiti, the Greeks as Sappho, or the United States as George Washington? Choose from unique leaders representing different nations, people, and playstyles with gameplay-impacting traits players can experiment with, and distinct personalities that help determine their behaviors as your AI neighbors, allies, or enemies.
  • EXPERIENCE TRUE SIMULTANEOUS TURNS: Every turn each nation's actions and choices resolve simultaneously, leading to suspense, anticipation, unique outcomes, and surprising twists on the classic turn-based formula. The fate of your people will be determined by your decisions and your ability to predict your opponent’s next move, putting your skill as a leader to the ultimate test.

Ara: History Untold is coming to PC (Steam) and will be available day one with PC Game Pass.
