So it turns out that THQ Nordic's exciting announcement for Expeditions: Rome was the release of a free playable demo today. Nice! Now why couldn't they have led with that news instead of the silly Twitch extension? The demo consists of the game's first four hours, where the player character will take part in the Roman conquest of the Greek island of Lesbos. THQ Nordic put together a new trailer showcasing some of those locations. A bunch of streamers will also get to play with the game's Twitch integration this weekend, and there's a trailer for that as well.


The Expeditions: Rome demo is available on Steam now and will apparently remain available indefinitely. Check it out and post your impressions. Savegames will be compatible with the final release, so that's cool.
