When Imperium Romanum II launches in February of 2009, it will be under a new name: Grand Ages: Rome. I think you can see where this is going. It looks like Kalypso is planning a new franchise of Grand Ages games, which is smart considering they could re-use a lot of the engine from IR2 in future titles.
Official Release:
In February 2009, Kalypso Media will publish the highly awaited sequel to Imperium Romanum under a new strategy game umbrella brand, Grand Ages. Imperium Romanum II which is currently under development will therefore be renamed Grand Ages: Rome.
The new brand, GRAND AGES will act as a strong customer recognisable brand for Kalypso Media's strategy games portfolio and will be extended with other high-quality strategy games in the future.
'The GRAND AGES brand gives us the opportunity, to create a distinctive brand for all our strategy games which will be universally recognised and unique in the world wide game markets. Grand Ages: Rome is only the beginning of a future series of great Kalypso Media strategy games', says Kalypso's Stefan Marcinek.
