addedWe introduced four new campaigns to the main story mode: Campaign II: Last Conqueror of Britannia, Campaign III The Lost Eagles of Germania, Campaign IV: The Gallic Wars, and Campaign V: The Third Punic War . Each campaign was initially released for free, completing our vision of ancient Roman history by adding new biomes, challenging battles, unique enemies, and fresh mechanics to the core game. On top of that, they gave us the opportunity to present historical characters such as Agricola, Germanicus or Julius Caesar.

Price Adjustment for Campaign DLCs

We want every player who has supported us from the beginning to enjoy this content, and many of you already have it for free. Those who already downloaded the DLCs, will still be able to enjoy them for free.

However, we are announcing a price change for these four Campaign DLCs. Starting on January 12th of next year, these DLCs will no longer be free and will be individually priced at $0.99 USD / €0.99 EUR each.

Why the Change? Let’s value the Hard Work

We know this is a difficult announcement, and we want to be completely transparent about our reasoning.

This modest price point—just $0.99/ €0.99—is easily accessible and serves a critical purpose: recognizing the value of our work and helping us with development.

As a small team, developing complex, story-driven campaigns requires an immense amount of time and resources. We observed that sometimes, free content is not always perceived with the same value as paid content. By adding a nominal price, we hope to ensure the immense effort our small team put into these campaigns is recognized, which helps us justify the continued high-quality content development for Citadelum.
