Release Date: February 15, 2023
Remake of the cult city builder strategy game released in 1999. Pharaoh: A New Era includes both the basic version of this game and an add-on Cleopatra: Queen of the Nile. The graphics, soundtrack and interface were refreshed for the game.
Pharaoh: A New Era is a remake of the iconic city builder Pharaoh and its expansion, Cleopatra: Queen of the Nile. It was developed by Triskell Interactive (also responsible for the Lethis series), improving the original game's graphics, audio and modernising some mechanics.
As the title suggests, Pharaoh: A New Era takes place in ancient Egypt. During the story campaign consisting of over fifty missions, the player learns the game's basics as well as the country's history, from its foundation to Cleopatra's reign.
The gameplay of Pharaoh: A New Era is shown from the top-down perspective. The player's job is to build thriving cities. Transforming a small settlement into a mighty metropolis requires us to handle the city in its entirety. We must extract resources, construct new buildings, roads and supply chains, take care of farming (which is almost entirely dependent on the Nile overflowing), trading as well as defend our territory and recruit soldiers. As a ruler, it is our duty to work for the benefit of our people, fulfilling their needs and desires.
Our plans, however, aren't immune to plagues and natural disasters, with hail, locusts and other events having long-term effects on the country. If everything's going accordingly to plan and we have money to spare (there are indicators which clearly and umambiguously inform us about our city's condition), we can show off our might to the world by warring with other civilizations on land and on sea or creating monuments such as pyramids, the Sphinx or the Alexandrian lighthouse.
In addition to the singleplayer campaign, Pharaoh: A New Era features an extensive editor letting us create our own scenarios.
The visuals of Pharaoh: A New Era and its interface have been adapted to 4K. Higher resolution isn't all the game has to offer; the entire visual layer was thoroughly refreshed, making the graphics sharp and clear. The soundtrack also received a new arrangement, while the user interface and controls were adapted to modern standards.

Pharaoh New Era Review: Pyramids Built on Nostalgia in Great Return of Timeless Classic
Pharaoh returns to take the rightful spot on the throne of city builders. The game has some shortcomings, but it is still a great remake. A New Era treats the source material with respect, at the same time making it more accessible.
Pharaoh: A New Era has received an update that should provide fans of the game with a lot of fun. Among other things, the new patch brought the anticipated mission editor.
