Now available on Steam with a 20% discount for a limited amount of time


Madrid, 11th of July of 2024 - Summer, the chosen time of the year for the biggest battles of history, is here. Avoiding the harsh conditions of the cold Winter, armies start marching to fight at their borders; to conquer new territories or to defend their homeland. It’s the perfect time to announce that the turn-based historical strategy videogame “Songs of Steel: Hispania” is now available on Steam.

Developed by the Asturian team Meteorbyte Studios and produced and published by the Sorian team Combat Time, both studios are proud to bring the not very well-known at the international level, but immensely relevant, War of Numantia closer to everyone around the world through a game.

The game features full translations of the texts and voices in Spanish and English, as well as texts and subtitles in German, since the name of Numantia is bound to the historian and archaeologist Adolf Schulten. With his book “History of Numantia” (1913) where he writes about his investigations in the ruins of the celtiberian city, Schulten was a huge help in the research and international spreading of the Numantian myth.

With a launch discount of 20%, “Songs of Steel: Hispania” offers the possibility to enjoy its campaigns from both sides of the conflict, leading the Roman legions or fighting for the survival of the celtiberian people of Numantia.

We invite all enthusiasts of strategy videogames and history to join us in this exciting journey.
