COLOGNE, GERMANY — August 21, in the year of our Lord
2018 — Today Ubisoft announced the return of the
classic build-up strategy game The Settlers, which will be led
by Volker Wertich, the creator of the franchise. The Settlers

Settlers 1 History Edition, is available now on Uplay.
Developed by Ubisoft Blue Byte, The Settlers is a build-up
strategy game that allows players to settle, explore, and
conquer new islands in a medieval fantasy world. Forced to leave
their homelands after a devastating cataclysm of mysterious
origins, the Settlers set sail towards the unknown in hope of
finding a new home. Not only will they face countless new
challenges, they will also become part of an ancient mystery
that will change their lives forever.
Combining the familiar gameplay mechanics of The Settlers series
with new features and state-of-the-art technology, The Settlers
is a reboot of the build-up strategy brand. The Settlers will
combine the best, yet modernized gameplay elements from previous
titles with fresh new features such as the new food system,
multi-worker job system and alternative methods of victory.
Powered by Ubisoft’s Snowdrop engine, The Settlers will deliver
stunning visuals and bring back the unique Wuselig, or bustling,
feeling, specific to the brand’s DNA. Players can immerse
themselves in the world of The Settlers, discovering the
innumerable details of the bustling life from the different
tribes that make up the colourful open world of The Settlers.
“I am absolutely thrilled about the new The Settlers and
especially that Volker Wertich, the inventor of the brand,
returns as Creative Director”, says Benedikt Grindel, Managing
Director of the Ubisoft Blue Byte studio network, “The love for
detail in the game world is fantastic and our team managed to
bring the “Wuselig” feeling to new heights.”
