    Build, Shape, Remake — Pompeii: The Legacy Gets Steam Workshop, Map Editor & Mod Tools in Monumental Update

    Siscia Games unlocks endless creativity for Roman city-builder fans with its biggest release yet

    Independent Croatian studio Siscia Games has dropped one of the most substantial updates in the life of its Roman city-building title Pompeii: The Legacy, opening the floodgates to community-driven content with full Steam Workshop integration, a powerful in-game Map Editor, and a suite of dedicated modding tools.

    What Just Landed?

    This isn’t just another patch — it’s a transformation of how you’ll play. The update rolls out three major pillars:

    Steam Workshop Integration

    From today, players can browse, subscribe, and download custom maps, scenarios, building packs, gameplay tweaks, and total conversions directly through Steam — all without leaving the game. Siscia Games has built the system to be seamless: one-click installs, automatic updates, and built-in rating and discovery tools to surface the best community creations.

    In-Game Map Editor

    You don’t need external software or coding know-how to craft your own Campania. The new Map Editor lets you sculpt terrain, shape coastlines, place rivers and mountains, and paint soil fertility and resource distribution — all inside the game. Lay out your own version of the Bay of Naples, reimagine Pompeii on a different scale, or build entirely new regions across the Roman world. When you’re done, publish straight to Steam Workshop in seconds.

    Dedicated Modding Tools

    For creators wanting to go deeper, Siscia Games is releasing official modding tools alongside the update. These allow modification of building assets, economic systems, event scripts, visual effects, and beyond. Whether you’re adding new temples, rewriting trade mechanics, or crafting custom narrative scenarios, the toolkit is designed to be accessible to beginners while offering depth for experienced modders.

    Why This Matters

    Pompeii: The Legacy has always stood out in the crowded city-builder space — not just for its striking setting, but for its respectful, detailed approach to recreating life in the shadow of Vesuvius. Now, with this update, the game evolves from a carefully crafted experience into a platform for endless player creativity.

    Siscia Games, an indie team based in Croatia, has built its reputation on listening closely to its community. Every feature in this update has been shaped by player feedback, with map-editing and modding support consistently topping community wishlists since launch.

    What’s Next?

    The team has confirmed this is just the beginning. Planned improvements include:

    • Expanded editor brush tools and terrain assets
    • Official curated showcase of top community maps
    • Support for scenario scripting and custom events
    • Cross-promotion partnerships with leading modding groups

    The update is live right now and completely free for all existing owners.

    Start Building Your Legacy

    Whether you want to design the perfect city, reshape the landscape, or reimagine Roman life entirely on your own terms — the tools are in your hands. Step away from history books and start writing your own.

  • Storms, Skills & Sorana — Stormforge Blasts Into Early Access November 10!

    Storms, Skills & Sorana — Stormforge Blasts Into Early Access November 10!

    The winds of change are howling — and they bring power. Independent studio Roboto Games has officially announced that their highly anticipated fantasy open-world survival crafting adventure Stormforge will launch into Early Access via Steam on November 10, 2026, with a playable demo already winning over more than 35,000 players and counting.

    What Is Stormforge?

    Stormforge drops you and up to 7 friends into Sorana — a vast, procedurally generated world where magical storms aren’t just weather — they’re the lifeblood of the land. You are Stormforged, gifted with the ability to brave the tempests and harvest their raw energy to craft, build, and fight back against a creeping darkness draining the world dry.

    Unlike many survival games that treat storms as something simply to endure, in Stormforge you chase them — venturing into the eye of the gale to gather rare materials, then racing out before the full fury descends. Danger and opportunity are woven together in every gust.

    • Harness the storm — harvest energy within tempests to forge legendary gear and resilient bases
    • Procedurally generated worlds — no two journeys across Sorana are ever the same
    • 1–8 player co-op — solo survivor or squad leader, the adventure scales to you
    • Five flexible classes — Warrior, Ranger, Mage, Forager, and Villager — mix and match over 100+ skills to forge your perfect playstyle
    • Build & defend — craft weapons, armour, and storm-proof bases; fortifications must stand strong against both foes and the elements
    • Built-in modding support — create and share custom gear, enemies, points of interest, and rules directly in-game, no separate tools needed

    Three Biomes, Countless Secrets

    At Early Access launch, players will explore three distinct major biomes, each guarded by its own formidable boss and brimming with over 100 points of interest — from crumbling ruins to hidden caches and ancient mysteries waiting to be unearthed. Enemy strength scales dynamically with party size, so whether you’re exploring alone or marching as an eight-strong war band, the challenge feels fair and rewarding.

    Demo Delight — 35,000+ and Rising

    The excitement isn’t just building — it’s already here. The official Stormforge demo has been downloaded by more than 35,000 players, earning glowing praise from the community and outlets alike:

    “Stormforge hooked me within a few minutes of seeing it in action. It’s ambitious, immediately fun, and certainly a survival game to look forward to.” — PCGamesN

    “I truly cannot express enough how cool the storm mechanics are.” — Massively Overpowered

    An updated demo is also rolling out, adding fresh polish and features alongside Steam Next Fest participation in October.

    The Roadmap — What Lies Ahead

    Roboto Games plans to keep Stormforge in Early Access for roughly one year, with a clear path toward the full 1.0 release:

    • New mountain biome & boss — ascend to frozen heights and face the guardian above
    • Additional storm types — fiercer, stranger, and more rewarding tempests to master
    • Expanded classes & skills — deeper customisation and new ways to play
    • Endgame expansions — fresh challenges, rewards, and threats as the story unfolds

    The team has confirmed a modest price increase will accompany the 1.0 launch, rewarding early supporters with the best possible value from day one.
