The game features resource management, a branching storyline, and interactive fiction elements. Expeditions: Conquistador was partially funded by Kickstarter. Logic Artists has released two further Expeditions games: Expeditions: Viking in 2017, and Expeditions: Rome in 2022. THQ Nordic acquired the Expeditions Series intellectual property (IP) in November 2018.
