Strategy Fans Are About to Be Very Busy (30 NEW Games, Free Demos and More!)

Описание: New and upcoming strategy games for October (onwards) in 2026! It's more than thirty new games, expansions and free demos today! Stronghold 4 finally has a release date and a new demo, a Manor Lords rival that runs a whole county, a city builder that is only about traffic, Northgard as an auto-battler, a Reconquista grand strategy game from four people, Paradox's October (EU5, Victoria 3, Crusader Kings 3), two Viking expansions for Age of Empires, and the Pharaoh devs doing Greece. Split into three parts: what you can play tonight, what's dated for this month, and what's coming next.
