Theos: Cities of Myth announced, follow-up to Pharaoh: A New Era coming this year

From Press Release:

PARIS (June 1, 2026) – Build humble settlements into thriving metropolises in honor of ancient Greek deities in Theos: Cities of Myth, an all-new city building and management game announced today by publisher Dotemu (Absolum, MARVEL Cosmic Invasion) and Pharaoh: A New Era developer Triskell Interactive. Theos: Cities of Myth is a modern homage to the greatest city builders released in the aughts, guided by Triskell Interactive’s proven expertise for evolving the genre’s classics with rewarding gameplay as well as modern refinements and innovations. Theos: Cities of Myth will launch in 2026 on PC. https://store.steampowered.com/app/3002130/Theos_Cities_Of_Myth/

Each city you build in Theos: Cities of Myth stands as tribute to a specific Greek deity. Whether you devote your life’s work to Athena, Ares or another of Theos: Cities of Myth’ seven all-mighty figures, fulfilling your God’s desires by building structures or completing specific actions will bless you with boons, special heroes and renowned figures to join your society. You must be mindful of your God’s wishes even while tending to 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 scenarios, missions 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’ classical inspirations deepen its strategic challenge. Amass a vast army to keep your people safe from neighboring rivals – or to conquer and claim their colony 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 and historical figures to your colony, reinforcing your empire with powerful might.

Theos: Cities of Myth pairs an intuitive UI, 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.
