The demo lets players choose from three professions-Blacksmith, Innkeeper, or Alchemist-and navigate the economic, social, and political systems of a medieval European city over 17 turns. THQ Nordic estimates a playthrough takes two to four hours. The full Early Access version, due July 16, will add multiplayer for up to 12 players and support for languages beyond English. The game is a deliberate return to the style of the original 'Europa 1400: The Guild', focusing on dynasty management across generations.
