Anno 1800 Debuts For Console For The First Time With Xbox Series X|S, PlayStation 5 Release This March

In the continuing playbook for Ubisoft, 2023 will certainly be an interesting year. For starters, its plans to roll out Assassin’s Creed Mirage – a new entry which revisits the roots of the IP – is slated to ship this year. Additionally, the firm even has plans to roll out new information for its Star Wars project. The game is said to be an open-world RPG with The Division team Massive Entertainment at the helm.

Elsewhere, word has it Ubisoft+ is to continue branching out. In that, the service is to expand to Xbox, claims say. But, there is some calamity too. The firm in a recent statement addressed another delay for Skull & Bones. Not only that, it is indicated a few unannounced titles were also shelved indefinitely as well.

Despite the amount of noise already, the publisher is to start with a bang. After decades of being unique to PC, Anno 1800 is to officially hit console this March. You can watch the official trailer in the video below:

“Anno 1800 is a great success story for the studio and the Anno brand,” Stéphane Jankowski, executive producer says. “The popularity and the success of the game on PC gave us the opportunity to develop a console version of the game, thanks to the power of the current generation of consoles. Bringing our most successful Anno game to consoles is a real chance for us to let new players discover our award-winning game for the first time and join our amazing community.”

There will be two versions available at release: the standard edition which comes with the base game and the deluxe edition. The latter is said to include three cosmetic packs: the Pedestrian Zone Pack, Amusements Pack, and Vibrant Cities Pack. What are you most interested to see about Anno 1800 coming to console finally?
