What is Expeditions: Rome's story?
Set in the historical-political landscape of Rome, players will assume the role of the game's protagonist, Legatus, who flee Rome to the military barracks of the Greek empire following the death of their father by a formidable opponent. Legatus must rise amongst the ranks as they increase their military proficiency, combat skills, influence, and honour to build a respected or feared legacy by many.
As they navigate their way in the political landscape within the Roman Senate, players will decide the fate of Rome based on the decisions they make. Will they pledge their allegiance to the Republic? Or carve your path out, forging a new lineage of political figures in Rome?
What features are included in Expeditions: Rome?
Expeditions Rome features a character customisation menu for players to create their version of Legatus. From facial and body features, gender, class, and skill set, their character's fate will influence the type of playstyle and environments.
There will be five companion characters available for Legatus to employ throughout the game's campaign. Each companion has their backstory, playstyle, and unique skills to assist or hinder Legatus's rise to power.
As they progress through the game's campaign, explore vast regions to increase their military and political power and the future of Rome. From the golden landscapes of Rome to the idyllic environments of Greece, every region is reimagined and beautifully detailed.
