The official trailer featured on this wiki's home page is "Pax Autocratica - Official Launch Date Trailer" (2:03, published December 15, 2025 on the official channel). View counts below are snapshots from August 17, 2026: the live counters keep moving, so treat every number as dated.
The three official videos
The official Pax Autocratica YouTube channel carries three Pax Autocratica trailers. Each is listed by its exact title so a search result or reupload cannot be mistaken for the real one:
- "Pax Autocratica - Official Launch Date Trailer": 2:03, published Dec 15, 2025. 2,111,202 views as of Aug 17, 2026. This is the video embedded on this wiki's home page.
- "Pax Autocratica - Official Demo Trailer": 1:38, published Aug 27, 2025. 625,086 views as of Aug 17, 2026. Announced the free Steam demo.
- "Pax Autocratica Early Access Announcement Trailer - Base Building Totalitarian Sim FPS Roguelite": 1:25, the earliest of the three, still listed on the official channel.
One naming caution: the Launch Date Trailer's description originally pointed at a March 4, 2026 date. The actual Early Access release was August 10, 2026: the video title stayed, the date moved. Current facts live on the release-date status page.
Why exact names matter
Search results mix official uploads with reactions, clips, and reuploads. "Official Trailer" is not an official title: no Pax Autocratica video is named that. Linking the exact watch URLs above is the only way to be sure you are watching the official asset rather than a similarly titled copy.
This wiki uses one consistent rule: the home page embed and this guide point to the same asset, labeled by its exact name, "Official Launch Date Trailer."
What the videos show
The trailers present the confirmed shape of the game: a satirical totalitarian colony sim paired with roguelite FPS combat. You build and govern a colony, shape citizens through fear or compassion, then lead soldiers into first-person expeditions (from skirmishes up to large-scale mechanized warfare with tanks and mechs) and capture enemies who can be converted into believers.
For what those systems actually are (rather than how they are cut in a trailer), read the beginner guide and the gameplay guide. Release status, reviews, and price policy live on the release-date status page.
How to cite a trailer correctly
A careful reference includes the exact title, the direct URL, and the date attached to any number: "Pax Autocratica - Official Launch Date Trailer had 2,111,202 views as of August 17, 2026." Do not present the snapshot as a live total, and do not convert view counts into claims about sales or player counts: a view is only a view.
