Anno 2205 is a city builder in which you join humankind's next step into the future with the promise to build a better tomorrow.

In Anno 2205 players will join mankind’s next step into the future, with the promise of building a better tomorrow by expanding into space. Players must develop rich metropolises on Earth that are capable of launching missions to the moon as they race to establish production colonies on the lunar surface. By mining the Moon’s resources to send back down to Earth, Anno 2205 players will receive the benefits of technological advancements and the tools to help expand their cities and transform them into thriving metropolises.

You conquer Earth, establishing rich, bustling cities and grand industrial complexes, but to secure the prosperity of your people, you must go into space. A scientific breakthrough in fusion energy promises to revolutionize all aspects of society. The necessary isotope, helium-3, can only be found in harvestable quantities on the Moon. Venture into space and settle on the Moon in the thrilling race for resources and power.

Anno’s masterful economic gameplay is back and taking strategic city-building simulation to new heights, launching into space!

Multi-Session Gameplay

Multi-session gameplay in Anno 2205 consists of twelve sectors. All of these sectors can be combined into one massive, endless game. There are nine player sessions, divided over three regions: The Temperate Zone, the Arctic Zone, and the Lunar Zone on the moon. Each of these zones can be accessed by the player, and they will be free to choose among the three sessions that are in each sector. Even then, the other sessions can be accessed later in the game. In addition to these nine player sectors, there are four crisis sectors that contain optional military gameplay. After these sectors are unlocked, the player can access them whenever they want.

The multi-session gameplay of Anno 2205 has many advantages – the most important part is that everything the player builds is there to last. They are never forced to leave behind their creations, which gives players the opportunity to create unlimited metropolis across all twelve sectors.

Regions

  • Temperate Zone: The Temperate Zone is a familiar setting with large mountains and green grass. This is known as the player’s homeland. The largest metropolis and most expansive bridges can be built in this zone.
  • Arctic Zone: As it sounds, the Arctic Zone is freezing cold and gameplay and strategy are affected by the weather patterns. The factory outlets in the Arctic region provide heat which the inhabitants need, so most building placement will happen close to those facilities.
  • Lunar Zone: Conditions in the Lunar Zone are very different from the Arctic and Temperate since there is no atmosphere on the moon. Here, players must set up shield generators to protect their colonies from meteor showers, and build special buildings to save citizens from cosmic radiation. The moon is the most hostile environment, but still a magical, mystical place for the player to settle on.

The new Anno 2205 Engine paves the way for players to build cities on islands five times the size of those in previous Anno games. It also allows for a high level of graphical detail in the game, so players can immerse themselves in futuristic cities that come to life with flying cars, more than a million thriving citizens, churning factories, and grinding mines. Gameplay uses a revolutionary session mode that lets players control several sessions on Earth and on the Moon simultaneously, and connects multiple regions via different sessions.
