Blue Byte is developing the Settlers reboot which was targeted for a 2019 release date. It was then pushed back and all pre orders were returned. No word on it since then.

Could we, as the community, I include myself in this, since we are constantly purchasing everything this amazing dev team releases for 1800, be the sole factor to why The Settlers has been delayed for so long?

The success of 1800 is probably beyond what Ubisoft predicted and is keeping the Settlers on back burner and continued, polishing development for it and release it when this game loses steam?

Short and simple: No :)

Anno and Settlers are both developed by completely different teams in two separate studios. Nothing we do has an impact on Settlers' development, and the same is true vice versa for Anno.

Glad to hear it! If I had to choose, Anno all the way! But its nice to know that one's success doesn't stall the other :)

Think of Anno and Settlers like brothers- we have a friendly competition, we tease each other internally sometimes, but at the end of the day we all hope that everyone is successful and makes great games for players to enjoy <3
