Kalypso Media is pleased to announce that the award-winning trading strategy game Rise of Venice is now available to purchase via digital distribution as a comprehensive Gold Edition that includes all previously released additional content.
Establish yourself as one of the most powerful traders of Renaissance Venice in the main game, and then expand your empire as far as Gibraltar in the major expansion ‘Beyond The Sea.’ In addition, the Rise of Venice – Gold Edition also includes both the ‘Steamship’ and ‘Sea Monsters’ DLC. A retail boxed version will be available to purchase on August 26th, 2014.
Rise of Venice – Gold Edition challenges players to rise up through the ranks of Venetian society by crafting their own trading empire. Remove political opponents, apply merchant savvy and trade your way to becoming one of the most influential figures of the Renaissance. Check out the brand new trailer for Rise of Venice – Gold Edition below for a look at how to begin your journey on the path to riches.
In Rise of Venice, you play as a young man with ambitions of achieving success, power and wealth in Venice at the time of the Renaissance. With the support of your family, you must begin to build up a trading empire across Genua, Tripoli, Rome, Alexandria and Constantinople – in addition to many other significant merchant cities.
Through entrepreneurial expertise and maybe even a little Machiavellian intrigue, you must choose between your friends and political allies in order to ascend through the ranks of Venetian society and increase your influence. Create your own fleet, establish production facilities and participate in the political life of Venice. Or venture into challenging battles against pirates, remove competing political rivals and eventually rule as the powerful and illustrious Doge of Venice.
The major add-on ‘Beyond the Sea’ expands the game world of Rise of Venice by adding 13 new cities and numerous residence missions which are given to the player by his family. It also adds special Doge tasks and the NAO ship class: which Christopher Columbus sailed upon when he first arrived in America in 1492.
