Welcome, fellow warriors and city-builders, to a momentous occasion in the world of online gaming! Our beloved game that came from the ancient Gods is having its 14th anniversary, and we couldn’t be happier to celebrate it along your side, our epic and powerful players!
It’s been 14 incredible years since the launch of Grepolis, a strategic masterpiece developed by our visionary team in InnoGames. Today, we gather to celebrate this enduring journey through the sands of time, as players from all corners of the globe unite to honour their cities, alliances, and the epic battles that have defined this beloved game.
Grepolis, an amalgamation of the words “Greek” and “polis” (city), takes players on a journey back to ancient Greece, where they are tasked with building thriving cities, assembling powerful armies, and forging alliances with other players. From its humble beginnings, Grepolis has evolved into a captivating blend of strategy, diplomacy, and warfare.
To commemorate this anniversary we want to share with you some fun facts about this mythical game and its growth in the last 14 years:
- The game is currently available in 24 markets
