Koln, Germany– August 22, in the year of our Lord
2017 – Today, at gamescom, Ubisoft® announced the
development of ANNO 1800™, new opus of the famous franchise that
will take place in the 19th century. ANNO 1800™ is scheduled to

Developed at Ubisoft Blue Byte, Studio Mainz, ANNO 1800™ brings

rich city-building experience, including a story-based campaign,
a highly customizable sandbox mode and the classic Anno
multiplayer experience.
“With ANNO 1800, we really wanted to please our fans by giving
them the popular features of the franchise they love the most
and combine it with an innovative gameplay and a memorable new
setting” said Benedikt Grindel, Studio Manager of Ubisoft Blue
Byte .” We can’t wait to share more content with players in the
coming months”.
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.
