CivCity: Rome is in development at Firefly Studios (Stronghold franchise), in collaboration with Firaxis Games. As the game’s title suggests, you are tasked with recreating the glory of Rome, starting out with a small settlement and eventually constructing a mighty city. Expect to see plenty of familiar buildings, including amphitheatres, legionnaire forts, weapons workshops, and gladiatorial schools.

According to Steve Martin, President of Firaxis Games, “The teams at Firefly and Firaxis have worked hard to ensure that CivCity: Rome has the same depth and quality that gamers have come to expect from a Firaxis title.

Firefly has a long history with the city building genre,” said Simon Bradbury, Director at Firefly Studios. “CivCity: Rome is our latest take on the theme, and with the influence of Civilization, it’s certain to be the best yet.

CivCity: Rome should arrive in stores this summer.
