Lately, it feels like everyone is dog-piling on Call of Duty: Black Ops 7, whether it’s for the horrible campaign and its lack of saving or the AI-generated Calling Cards. It may still end up being a financial success, but on Steam, its launch week sales are below even Anno 117: Pax Romana.
The Ubisoft Mainz-developed city-builder ranked second in sales for the week of November 11th to 18th, according to SteamDB on Twitter. Embark Studios’ ARC Raiders took the top spot (as expected) while Call of Duty: Black Ops 7 launched in third place. Granted, it’s above Battlefield 6, which is in fourth, but that’s already more than a month old.
Whether intentional or not, Ubisoft has released an accolades trailer for Anno 117: Pax Romana, highlighting its critical acclaim. On Metacritic, it has an 85 Metascore on PC based on 57 reviews. Check out our review, where we gave it an eight out of ten for its excellent visuals, smoother early game and great setting (even if it isn’t used to the fullest extent).
Of course, there’s even more content on the way as part of its Year 1 DLC, from a Coliseum to a new Province. Head here for more details.
