POMPEII: THE LEGACY

Twisting history is what makes these games special, and the newly revealed Pompeii: The Legacy does something pretty bold with the Roman town. 

Instead of Mount Vesuvius’s volcanic eruption in 79 AD almost entirely covering Pompeii until the 16th century, Emperor Trajan sends your family to the city ruins 20 years later in an effort to rebuild on the rubble, over the course of hundreds of years.

You take up the role of the head of this Roman family, managing the reconstruction effort over several generations.
