Rebuild the city of Pompeii and climb the social ladder. Roman society is full of intrigues that you have to solve in order to become a powerful ruler.

Pompeii: The Legacy is a unique city-building game set in the Roman Empire, focusing on the legendary city of Pompeii. The game begins 20 years after the catastrophic eruption of Mount Vesuvius in 79 AD, where you are tasked with rebuilding the city from the ashes.

The gameplay is deeply rooted in historical events, offering a campaign that spans over 200 years. You will navigate the complex social hierarchy of the Roman Empire, interacting with emperors like Trajan, Hadrian, and Marcus Aurelius. Complete their tasks to earn rewards and benefits for yourself, your family and your city.

As the head of a Roman family, you will oversee the reconstruction of Pompeii over several generations, making critical decisions that shape the city's future. Your city is a dynamic, living system. Construct buildings, manage resources, and ensure your citizens have everything they need to thrive. Every structure, road, and water supply plays a crucial role in keeping the city alive and prosperous.


The game incorporates active and passive bonuses through Family Bonuses, Research and Development, and Imperial Privileges. There are two main research branches: Technology and Philosophy. The Technology branch unlocks building upgrades and passive bonuses that enhance specific structures or transport. The Philosophy branch offers research that improves city management, governance, and addresses social issues like religion and education, providing new strategies for you.

Leverage the trade routes of the Roman Empire to exchange goods and wealth. Establish trade agreements and monitor the market to ensure your city's prosperity. Always be mindful of the competition, as the market can be volatile.

Experience the unpredictability of life in the Roman Empire through a variety of events. Catastrophes such as volcanic eruptions, earthquakes, fires, locust swarms, and plagues can strike at any moment, affecting your city or the empire as a whole. These events will test your leadership, requiring quick thinking and strategic decisions to protect your city and ensure its survival.

Pompeii: The Legacy is coming to PC (Steam) in 2025.
