PARIS (August 11th, 2026) – Publisher Dotemu (MARVEL Cosmic Invasion) and developer Triskell Interactive (Pharaoh: A New Era) today released an in-depth gameplay overview for Theos: Cities of Myth, a new city building and management game arriving as a modern homage to the greatest city builders released in the aughts. The new trailer offers a divine first look at how you’ll create flourishing cities in tribute to one of seven Olympian Gods of Ancient Greece in Theos: Cities of Myth’s clever evolution of the genre, with gameplay refined by Triskell’s proven expertise for revitalizing the classic fun of city builders. Theos: Cities of Myth launches later this year on PC.
As shown in today’s trailer, every city you build must begin with The Sanctuary, your God’s seat of power and the central hub your settlement will grow around. You’ll manage all aspects of your city: establishing supply and distribution chains, as well as appeasing residents to improve structures, fall under your control among other disciplines.
But Theos: Cities of Myth’s comprehensive refinements to genre conventions – like granting unprecedented control over guiding the walking units patrolling and aiding your city – resolve traditional pain points, while making the exciting challenge and vast depth of city builders approachable to newcomers and veterans alike. More details can be found here.
Fulfill the desires of mighty gods like Ares or Athena to earn blessings, boons or to draw renowned figures to your city, including famous philosophers like Socrates or Aristotle. Tend to your God’s desires even while fulfilling your citizens’ earthly needs for food, housing, culture and entertainment – divine wrath can turn the tides of even the most promising utopia.
Theos: Cities of Myth offers dozens of hours of fun across its adventures and richly malleable sandbox mode, all hosted within a gorgeously realized, mythologically inspired vision of ancient Greece. Pharaoh: A New Era’s acclaimed suite of building tools also returns in Theos: Cities of Myth, empowering even complete newcomers to the genre to intricately design a bustling haven, from awe-inspiring, majestic temples down to the individual walking paths residents wander.
New features distinct from Theos: Cities of Myth’s classical inspirations deepen its strategic challenge. Amass a vast army to keep your people safe from neighboring rivals – or to conquer them as your own in real-time battles. Build a quaint town into a prosperous, far-reaching trading empire brimming with resources. A well-designed city and appeased God will beckon bonus-granting legendary heroes to your colony, reinforcing your empire with powerful might.
Theos: Cities of Myth pairs an intuitive UI, the acclaimed suite of building tools realized in Pharaoh: A New Era, dynamic lighting and thoughtful design to enrich timeless city building fun with current day sensibilities. For more updates on Theos: Cities of Myth, be sure to follow @Dotemu on X.
