IMPERATOR: ROME IS BACK

[Helmin]

The former game director of I:R just revealed that they're coming with a new update to fully release 2.0.4. They're not reviving the game, but atleast they're pushing out a final update to support modders and please the fanbase.

We've definitely noticed the community events and followed them with interrest. It was really cool seeing all the streams, videos being made and ppl playing + the community reacting to that again. So much that we've decided to make another push for the 2.0.4 patch being actually released. A year ago I've made it an open beta on steam, and for various reasons I couldnt get it released on the other platforms (turns out tech doesn't stop and old tech doesnt work anymore). However we decided that we need to gather resources from the internal paradox studio's (tinto, green & gold) to make an effort into releasing this patch.

I can't promise a date, but it does seem very likely that we will be able to actually release it (all platforms & all stores we support)!

I have to stress though, there is no internal team working on this game, and we are not planning to start one up. But we do want to give back to the community, so the 2.0.4 patch is also being expanded a little bit with requests coming from modders.

Once we are closer to knowing when we can release it, we will make a new forum post & share on socials as well

Great news indeed! The modders are the true heroes here keeping this lovely game alive

Wow. Nice! Was wondering why they didn't make the patch official but having been in the industry, that response actually makes a lot of sense. Glad to see they're going to push to wrap it up.

they should keep making it better instead of you know doing what most people do today and just quit.. this is why we cant have nice things...
