Kalypso Media has released a new trailer for Rise of Venice, its upcoming game that combines political intrigue with high-seas merchant simulation. The trailer showcases the political machinations of the game world, where it’s more than just about making money, but also about “who you know”.” In Rise of Venice, you will be challenged to sail the seas of a lush 3D world, trading goods, while also working to earn the votes of the “Council of 10”, a group that can make or break your political career.
As a young man striving for success, power and wealth and with the support of your family, you begin to build up a trading empire across Genoa, Tripoli, Rome, Alexandria, and Constantinople in addition to many other significant cities from the Renaissance. As you progress through the ranks of Venetian society, increasing your power with smart trading moves and calling in the occasional favor, you can begin to assemble your own fleet. With this you will start to build up new production facilities and test yourself in challenging sea battles where you will face off against pirates as well as political enemies.
Here are the key features of Rise of Venice:
-Experience a compelling story full of intrigue and treason in Venice at the time of the Renaissance.
-Trade a variety of goods in the most important cities of the time such as Rome, Alexandria, Constantinople and Athens.
-With your own family tree you can interact with your family members, send them on missions and watch how the power of your family grows over time.
-Meet other important families who are pulling the strings in Venice’s government and influence political decisions yourself.
-Build your own production facilities and trading fleets.
-Take fate into your own hands and test your skills in furious sea battles.
-Multiplayer mode for up to 4 players via LAN and Internet.
Rise of Venice will be released in the UK and export territories as both a boxed retail version and digital download for Windows PC in Autumn 2013.
