Ahead of the game’s February 2 release here in the UK, a playable demo has been released, giving fans of the series a chance to try out some single-player action. Coming in at 127 MB you’ll get to play through select tutorial chapters and take control of all the Western nations from 1492 to 1520.

In the full game players will take control of a nation, from a selection of 250, and then transform them into a global empire, using their skills in exploration, trade, warfare and diplomacy.
