Anno 1800 brings players at the dawn of the industrial age, a time of industrialization, diplomacy and discovery. Players will have the chance to prove their skills as a ruler, as they create huge metropolises, plan efficient logistic networks, explore and settle new lands and dominate their opponents by diplomacy, trade or warfare.

Anno 1800 combines the best of what the franchise can offer: a rich city-building experience, including a story-based campaign, a highly customizable sandbox mode and the classic Anno multiplayer experience.

This is the dawn of the industrial age and the path you choose will define your world. Are you renovator or exploiter? Suppressor or liberator? Diplomacy, trade or warfare, choose your strategy for victory. It’s up to you how the world will remember your name.

Anno 1800 Season 4 launches on April 12, and it’s bringing players back to the New World to discover new means of agricultural production, pioneer aviation, and develop a new tier of the New World’s population. Season 4 is composed of three DLCs: Seeds of Change, Empire of the Skies, and New World Rising, each of which will add a new scenario and bring new missions and game mechanics to Anno 1800.

Season 4’s first DLC, Seeds of Change, launches April 12 and will introduce New World haciendas and allow players to own a country estate to produce agricultural goods. Seeds of Change is all about maximizing productivity, establishing island policies, and giving the inhabitants independence to farm goods that previously could only be imported. Additionally, the Seasons of Silver scenario will task players with establishing a complex silver-production chain as they contend with changing seasons. For players eager to decorate their worlds, three exclusive ornaments will also be available from April 12, as part of the Season 4 Pass.

Scheduled for Summer 2022, the second DLC, Empire of the Skies, will introduce new ways to use airships that include transporting goods and aerial battles. Later in the year, the final DLC, New World Rising, will add a new population tier and more islands to the New World. Stay tuned for more information.

If you’re new to Anno 1800, Seeds of Change is launching alongside a Free Week which will give players access to the main game for free from April 12-19. Those looking to keep playing after the Free Week will have two options (both of which are available today) to get the main game, Deluxe pack, Season 4 content, and potentially more from the Ubisoft Store:

• Complete Edition Year 4: Features main game, Deluxe pack, and all 4 Season Passes
• Gold Edition Year 4: Features main game, Deluxe pack, and Season 4 Pass

Ubisoft Blue Byte also offers players the opportunity to join their team in the creation of Anno 1800 with ANNO Union. This brand new community initiative will provide exclusive content, latest news, development insights, behind the scenes content and give them the opportunity to play the game early. Gamers will be able to help the studio shape the future of the franchise, as they will regularly be invited to share their feedback, vote on features, create content and get the chance to take part in play tests during its development. 

Anno 1800 is available for PC (Ubisoft Connect / Epic Games Store).
