For those of you who have ever fancied becoming the Supreme Pontiff, Vicar of Jesus Christ, Prince of the Apostles, Sovereign of the Vatican City State or to put it more simply, the Pope? Well thanks to Ultimate Games PC gamers will soon be able to fulfill their fantasy with Pope Simulator. Rather than using white smoke, Ultimate Games has released a new trailer to celebrate the announcement.
With Pope Simulator step into the shoes of the pope and lead the largest religious institution in the world. Organise religious gatherings, make important decisions that determine the Vatican’s influence and face the issues troubling the modern world.
The game will feature:
- The ability to influence the fate of the world.
- Use soft power to gain influence.
- Organise pilgrimages around the world.
- Help and support humanity throughout its troubles.
- Strategically manage the Vatican’s influence.
- Lead the fight for world peace.
- Carry out numerous evangelistic activities.
“The works on the game are at a very preliminary stage, and the first trailer has been released for illustrative purposes. However, Pope Simulator is certainly a unique project demonstrating a serious approach to the subject and intended to offer players a lot of freedom and great opportunities to implement their own vision of papal activity in the virtual world,” says Mateusz Zawadzki, CEO of Ultimate Games S.A.
“The Pope has no military or economic power behind him, but he has other means of influencing the world, which was evident in the 1980s, for example, when the communist system in Poland collapsed. Our idea assumes the possibility to use, among others, the so-called soft power, and – consequently – influence the fate of the world and interfere in international politics. All this, of course, in accordance with the vision adopted by the player,” adds Zawadzki.
Pope Simulator will be coming to Steam for PC.
