Blue Byte’s Anno 1800 reappeared at Gamescom 2018 as its publisher Ubisoft released a new trailer, and finally offered a release date. Unfortunately, the city-building strategy game won’t be out this year, but it is coming on February 26th, 2019. Check out the new trailer to see some fresh fairly good-looking gameplay.
Anno 1800 takes a step back from the many futuristic titles in the franchise, venturing into the Industrial Revolution. Players can choose variety of different approaches, though the impetus is still on building and expanding your city. To that effect, you can have expeditions where a crew of specialists will travel the world for adventure.
They’ll essentially complete quests on their own and probably discover some rare treasures while you continue your conquest. A story campaign is provided in the game, but players can mess about in sandbox mode as well, and also hop online for multiplayer. Multi-session play is returning, and randomly generated maps will help keep the action fresh, too.
