Kalypso Media is pleased to release a new trailer for Rise of Venice, its upcoming game that combines political intrigue with high-seas merchant simulation. The trailer will immerse players in 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.
Rise of Venice will be released digitally for Windows PC this Autumn.
Venice was at the peak of its power during the Renaissance and was viewed as a city of decadence, beauty and intrigue. Renowned as the linchpin of civilization and the cultural center of Europe, Venice was the most important trading post between Western Europe and the eastern stretch of the Mediterranean Sea. It was also the stage for political corruptions and clandestine dealings.
This is where your story begins. 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.
