Update News
Anno 2205 Big Five Pack DLC Now Available
London, UK — June 6, in the year of our Lord 2016
— Today, Ubisoft® and Blue Byte released the new Anno 2205™ Big
Five Pack, a free DLC for all players, including new features,
updates and ornaments.
The Big Five Pack brings Economic Warfare to the game. Player
can enter the stock market and compete with the Big Five, the
five most influential corporations, for shares, influence and
industrial dominance. Competing with the Big Five offers new
challenges and grants special rewards and powerful buffs for a
richer endgame experience.
Players will have several tools at their disposal to ensure
their corporation’s supremacy over the Big Five. A new resource
will be introduced: influence. In the stock market, players can
buy other companies’ shares during auctions. With Espionage,
players can gather information and unlock special auctions to
gain advantage over the Big Five.
Gaining the upper hand in this economic warfare grants players
several bonuses. Owning all the shares from another company
unlocks additional buffs and reaching industry dominance will
grant a special reward. A new public building is also available
as a reward for entering the stock market: the trading floor.
On top of introducing Economic Warfare, the Big Five update
brings new features to Anno 2205: the sector effects. The
Calamities, like the Hacker Attack or Climate Warfare, are
temporary and can be removed by solving a counter measure quest,
while the Sector Traits affect regions permanently in a positive
or negative way. The building quick view also includes industry
types and additional improvements in order to help players craft
their strategy for industry dominance, and new ornaments are
available for the metropolis.
On July 20, the Anno 2205 Orbit DLC will allow players to build
their own modular space station, which offers a brand new
science and research system to upgrade different areas in their
corporations. Anno 2205 Orbit DLC is part of the Anno 2205
Season Pass but will also be available as a standalone purchase.
Anno 2205 is in development at Blue Byte, a Ubisoft studio, and
is available now.
