📅 Release Date Update

I want to share a quick update regarding the full release.

Due to Steam’s wishlist email cooldown system, I’ve had to move the full release of Pompeii: The Legacy by a few days, from April 6th to April 9th.

This ensures that players who have wishlisted the game will properly receive release notifications.
It’s a small delay, but an important one for visibility and a stronger launch.

Thank you for your understanding and continued support ❤️
