[2020] Of Lions and Lights: Land of Lions news is coming next month

Hey Anno Community,
we know that many of you have been patiently waiting for more news on our next major DLC, “Land of Lions”. We also know that we had previously promised to have more information on this feature-packed content in September. Unfortunately, due to some additional feedback we have been working to implement, we won’t be able to honor that promise, and there will be no news from Enbesa this month. On the bright side, we will not only release “Land of Lions” itself in October but are also working on several DevBlogs to give you an in-depth look into Anno 1800’s biggest DLC prior to release.

Enjoy the “City Lights”
Speaking of releases- another frequently asked question was whether the runner-up from our Cosmetic DLC vote, the “Bustling City Life Pack”, would make its way into your cities in the future. We are happy to say that the answer is “Yes!”, with a small “but…” attached. While the concept is very much the same many of you voted for earlier this year (vending booths, playgrounds and other things you will find in daily city life), the pack has undergone a name change to “City Lights Pack”, to account for the new streetlamps! This latest Cosmetic DLC will be coming to Anno 1800 later this year, after the release of “Land of Lions”.

We are looking forward to sharing much more about both DLCs with you all in the weeks to come!

The Anno Team

Wording is very important, agreed :)

Anno 1800 is so gorgeous that it is impossible to take miserable screenshots ;)

We are quite confident that we have a pretty good DLC for you all :)

Thank you, that is very kind <3

I learned my lesson (at least for this DLC)...

Damn :(

Not quite- the DLC itself is still very much on track for October, and the date has not changed. It was just the blogs we had to push back.

Just be careful- every time I see those vending stalls, I get the urge to eat Pizza...

Good news is that the 31st is a Saturday, so it should probably release sooner than that.

Normally I would ask "how dare you", but since CK3 also has a lot of fans on the Anno team you are forgiven- as long as you are back in time for "Land of Lions"!

Same.

Probably higher than you think, since I said "more than 70" :)

To be fair, if you look at most of our Anno 1800 DLCs, you will see that we usually only started giving concrete details on them 2-3 weeks before release, so it is not too unusual.

The fact that we wanted to talk about it sooner was the exception.

For what it is worth, I can assure you that the screenshots are beautiful, and the trailer is shaping up very well also. I was just looking at the latest version of it this morning.
