Aggregated from Steam, cross-tracked with Battle.net coverage on GamePatchNote.
Ave, Citizens of Rome!
We have exciting news regarding Citadelum, our ancient Rome city-builder and strategy game. Since our initial launch in 2024, we have worked tirelessly to refine the experience, guided by the invaluable feedback you’ve shared with us.
Beyond the additional DLC campaigns and the massive "Julius" 2.0 update—which introduced World Wonders, legal trials, complex production chains, and expanded diplomacy—we have now overhauled the interface to make the game even better on handheld.
✅ We are proud to announce that Citadelum is now officially Steam Deck Verified! ✅
What does this mean for you? Steam Deck Verification ensures a seamless experience through several key features:
- Full Controller Support: Every function is fully accessible via the Deck’s controls.
- Native Icons: The interface now displays the correct Steam Deck button prompts.
- Improved Readability: Text has been scaled for perfect legibility on the handheld screen.
- Optimized Performance: Default graphic settings are now tuned to provide the best possible performance on the hardware.

To celebrate this milestone, Citadelum is 35% OFF on Steam for a limited time!
Finally, we encourage you to leave us a review. They are incredibly helpful for small indie studios like us. Don't forget to follow Abylight Studios on Steam to stay updated on Citadelum and our upcoming projects.
Roma Victrix!
