I'm thrilled to announce that Never Second in Rome is entering Early Access on February 18 at 17:00 CET (08:00 PST).

The initial version will contain 10 fully playable chapters extending from the beginning of Caesar's Gallic campaign to the siege of Alesia.

The free demo will remain available even after the official release, so that you can try the game before you buy it. However, I have been making a lot of small changes and tweaks since the last demo version (0.5.1) was published. I'm going to release an up-to-date build on the day Early Access launches.

I expect Never Second in Rome to stay in Early Access for longer than A Legionary's Life, possibly for about a year, but it's difficult to predict with certainty at this stage.

Whether you decide to jump on board as soon as possible or prefer to wait until the full release, please remember to wishlist the game if you haven't already done so!
