Games inspired by classical history are often big hits with fans, especially for Greek and Roman-inspired games likeTotal War: Rome II,Ryse: Son of Rome, orAssassin’s Creed: Odyssey. A new game inspired by Roman history,We Are Legion: Rome, has been announced for multiple platforms with a brand new cinematic trailer.
We Are Legion: Romeis developed by Poland-based indie developer Titanite Games, known for releasing a horror-drama visual novel calledPerseverancein 2018. Previously, this game was apparently being developed by Roman Soldiers Studio under the titleRoman Legionnaire.The game’s publisher, Gaming Factory, seems to have cut ties with the developers to bring Titanite Games onto the project.

This new cinematic trailer has been released to announceWe Are Legion: Romeis still in development. The game is a first-person adventure RPG where players take on the role of a Roman legionnaire who rises through the ranks. The events in the game are inspired by the Gallic Wars military campaign lead by Julius Caesar, and players will take part in great battles and sieges.
Another interesting gameplay element will be the ability to send letters to the character’s family back home, though it’s unclear what this will affect. Players still need to wait to see what gameplay is like, as the trailer didn’t reveal any. However, the game says it will be historically accurate, which is often expected byfans of Roman historyin these types of games.
Strangely enough, Gaming Factory plans to release about a dozen simulator-type games ranging from anElectrician Simulator andPizza Simulatorto aSailor Simulator. While this is nothing strange in and of itself, the idea of a publisher trying to make a quick buck by selling these types of games can’t be ignored. Unfortunately, the publisher’s recent gameGallic Wars: Battle Simulatorlooks pretty unfinished, which doesn’t exactly instill confidence.
On the bright side, these games are being made by different developers, so Titanite Games could pull through and deliver something special. Hopefully,We Are Legion: Romecan be anothergreat game for fans of Roman history, and not just a slapped-together “Roman Soldier Simulator.”
We Are Legion: Romeis currently in development for PC, Xbox, and PlayStation.
