Ancient City-Builder Nova Roma Joins Game Pass Library
Fans of expansive construction and intricate settlement management have a compelling new title to explore on Game Pass: Nova Roma. This highly anticipated strategy game has just been added to the service's ever-growing library.
It's important to note that Nova Roma launches as a Game Preview title. This means players are accessing an early, evolving version of the project, which will continue to develop with valuable input from the community. Microsoft confirmed its immediate inclusion in the Game Pass catalog upon release.
Nova Roma is a real-time strategy game set against the backdrop of ancient antiquity. As the venerable Roman Empire teeters on the brink of decline, players are tasked with leading a group of intrepid citizens in search of new lands. Your journey begins with a modest settlement, where you must diligently address the needs of your inhabitants, erect magnificent temples to appease the gods, and cultivate a society destined to be the envy of the entire ancient world.
Aspiring city-builders can access Nova Roma on PC through both Game Pass Ultimate and PC Game Pass subscriptions.
