Pompeii: The Legacy Fully Released Across PC Platforms

A solo developer’s journey culminates in a story-driven city builder, now available with full campaign

Pompeii: The Legacy is now live on GOG, with the full release rolling out across Steam and other platforms over the next few hours.

After six months in Early Access, this marks the end of an intense development phase for a solo developer, but not the end of the journey.

“It’s hard to believe how quickly these six months passed,” says Kos. “But reaching full release doesn’t mean development stops. This is my first solo project under Siscia Games, and I plan to continue improving and supporting it for a long time.”

From Early Access to Full Experience
Since entering Early Access, Pompeii: The Legacy has grown significantly, both in scope and depth. The most important addition is the complete campaign, now fully playable from start to finish, offering over 20 hours of gameplay.
Players rebuild Pompeii across generations, managing economy, trade, politics, and the everyday lives of citizens, all while facing dynamic events and environmental challenges.
Key Improvements Over the Past Six Months
The Early Access period introduced a wide range of new systems, content, and improvements:
  • Full campaign completion
  • Panoramic camera
  • New dynamic events and disasters (including snowstorms, storms, and volcanic ash)
  • Expanded fire system with spreading mechanics
  • City festivals, arena games, and public events
  • Trade system improvements
  • Aqueduct system rework
  • Building relocation and improved UI systems
  • Manual and automatic worker assignment
  • City Walls and basic military presence
  • Numerous new buildings, including Circus, Academy, Temples, Gold Mine, Pozzolan Mine, Weaponsmith, Armorer, and advanced production chains
  • Expanded research and bonus systems
  • New Building Preview panel and Army panel
  • More domestic animals for immersion and additional ambient sounds for buildings
  • Major engine and performance optimizations
Alongside gameplay systems, the game also received significant visual and atmospheric upgrades, including weather effects, ambient sounds, and more detailed city life.
The game is also fully translated into 13 languages.
A Solo Project at Scale
One of the defining aspects of Pompeii: The Legacy is that it was developed entirely by a single developer, including both the game itself and its custom-built engine.
This dual focus shaped the development process, allowing for deep technical control, but also presenting unique challenges, especially in the final stretch toward release.
What Comes After Release
While the full release marks a major milestone, further updates are already planned. These include:
  • Combat systems
  • Steam Workshop support (modding)
  • Controller support
  • Steam Deck optimization
The developer emphasizes that release is just the beginning of the game’s long-term development.
