Ubisoft Mainz has unveiled exciting new details about Anno 1800's successor, Anno 117: Pax Romana, in a recently released trailer. While previous announcements highlighted exploration of Lazio and Albion, the trailer suggests Lazio serves as a prologue before the main game unfolds in Albion.
Creative Director Manuel Rainer explains that Lazio starts idyllically, but a catastrophic event forces players to seek a new home in the unexplored lands of Britain (Albion). Albion presents a significant challenge, characterized by a harsh climate, rebellious tribes, and its geographical distance from Rome, making governance exceptionally difficult.
Players step into the role of a governor, tasked with overcoming these obstacles through more than just military might. Diplomacy and respect for local customs are key to success. A unique feature is the customizable ships, allowing players to strategically choose between speed enhancements via oarsmen or increased firepower with onboard archery turrets.
Anno 117: Pax Romana is scheduled for release in 2025 on PC, PS5, and Xbox Series S/X.
