Its true. I love my PS5 but Steam/PC is needed for certain games. Anno is amazeballs on Steam. I thought I read that its coming off Steam in the near future so you better download what you need now
No idea where you read that, but there are no such plans. We (and other Ubisoft games) only returned to Steam in late 2022.
I'm sure you've heard the news. Ubisoft exec said customers need to get used to not owning games. If this comment about removing off steam is true, than it fits into that plan. I bought anno on uplay anyways. I don't care what platform it's on as long as it's not locked behind a monthly subscription.
There are absolutely no plans to remove Anno 1800 from Steam.
And regarding the subscription topic: This comment was solely related to subscription models (Ubisoft+ specifically, Ubisoft's subscription service) and has absolutely nothing to do with games that were purchased "normally".
With all of the love in my heart, what a bunch of nerds.
Thank you!
I’m literally shaking right now!
We need to make our demands clear. I will destroy one residence a day in my city until we no longer have capitalized species. The ball is in your court Ubisoft. I hope you make the right decision!
Expecting at least weekly updates on your city
Anno 1800 was far too successful to be the last Anno ever ;)
u/Ubi-Thorlof are such slowdowns/game freezes a known bug?
Not really, or at least it's not something that I remember us receiving reports about in recent times, sorry :/
Or just slow it down to real time, or 1 min per sec, or something like that; that would be the same thing as a pause. It looks beautiful but it's no fun having to leave my planning because of some fire in another region, or an expedition, or whatever. Plus there are so many controls to learn and production pieces to optimize it's impossible to keep up. Like the other guy said, about 10 hours in the game goes from amazing to "this is too much like work" to "screw this, I'm going to play Need for Speed Rivals just so I can relax".
Hey, as I wrote above, we're aware of the sentiment you (and others) shared, but due to the technical limitations, this is nothing that will be implemented for Anno 1800.
This little ad was produced for Season 4's third DLC (New World Rising), see the mentioning of Manola and electric scooters, back in 2022.
We (and Ubisoft as a whole) are focusing on the key languages which - from our experience and data - make up the majority of our player base and/or are relevant in specific regions (and unfortunately, Brazil is nowhere near the top 5, I'm not sure where you're taking your data from).
As fhackner3 said below, we have read the feedback regarding a PT-BR localization for future projects and will keep that in mind, but there are no plans to add more languages to Anno 1800.
When you say "next" project, I hope that means current project?
Well, "next" project as in "the next one to release". So, yes, for us it's "current" and for all of you it's "next after Anno 1800" :P
Hey Anno Community,
We do have one more piece of news this month for fans of video game soundtracks:
On Sunday, January 28th, the Augsburg Philharmonic Orchestra will perform pieces from several video game soundtracks including TES V: Skyrim, Civilization 6 and: Anno 1404!
If you’re living nearby, you can still buy tickets via their website, alternatively you can also just simply get comfortable at home and watch their Twitch live stream of the whole concert.
It’s starting at 6 PM CET (5 PM UTC) on https://www.tw...
Read moreI wish we had a season 5 of Anno 1800 given how long even an announcement is taking on the next game.
The thing is: if we had done a Season 5 (design and technical considerations aside), any news on our next project would have been delayed even further.
Hey Anno Community,
A happy New Year from the Anno team – we hope you all had a great start into 2024!
We’re back at work after our holiday break, time to let you know what’s coming up in the next months.
First of all: expect a slower start in terms of news and blogs from us this year.
In early Spring we’ll have more information on the next Cosmetic DLC (including a livestream with our artist Laura), the theme of which may or may not have been “leaked” at the end of last year.
The boardgame enthusiasts among you can also look forward to an expansion to the Anno 1800 boardgame, also coming in Spring 2024. We’ll keep you updated on any news our friends at Kosmos have on this.
On the Twitch side of things, we would also love to continue some of the (multiplayer) savegames – for example for 2070 and 1800 – from last year. Let us know what you’d like to see from us on Twitch!
Finally, we still want to continue f...
Read moreLOL. I call bullshit on it. It was definitely an epic exclusive with money changing hands. The fact it can be bought on ubi's own store is just a concession from greedy old tim sweeney
Fancy an epic simp trying to deny this when ubi itself came out and declare that they are "partnering" epic on anno games.
Thanks for that reply after a year. A random stranger trying to educate me about Anno 1800’s development was just the laugh I could use today ;)
Exciting news, let me tell the team.
I appreciate the detail and work that goes into each island. I love the game! The only things that would increase playability for me would be 1) more island variety which I think MODS will help with, and 2) more than 4 players! Love the idea of there being not enough islands for 5-6 players and people having to battle to get the islands they need!
u/Ubi-Thorlof I realize that most people tend to comment when they have a problem with something rather than when they are pleased with something. So I just want to stress again--I love this game, I've received hundreds of hours of joy from it, I appreciate the detail, the inside jokes, the cheeky references to pop culture, etc. Thank you for the work your team has put into this! It shows, and I can't wait to see the next project!
Thank you, Pop317, those types of comments are always great to read for us and very touching. Knowing our game provided several hundred hours of fun to people is fantastic!
Those types of threads are my favourites
Based on the nature of a game like Anno 1800, do you think it's possible that the next version could have procedurally generated worlds?
While more work, we generally favour handcrafted worlds since they allow us to create a more special set of islands and balance them more in-detail. It's not very likely that we would go for a procedurally generated approach instead.
It's could add more like asia DLC, explorer new map type and new building. But ah well, is it because money issues, not enough profit or game engine limited/issues or Team Anno Developer got tired of working on Anno 1800 and want to move next project?
Edit: I am just curious
There are definitely some technical and design limitations to consider, but we also wanted to move on to a new project, yeah - and full development on a new game and large DLC for the previous game at the same time is out of scope for a team our size.
Didn't watch the whole stream but was very impressed by the mod already. Big fan of changing things up from how people play 1800 for years now - both with the seasons mechanic as well as all the rebalancing.
This mod might actually make me start a new game eventually, when it releases. Maybe even with another dedicated modding livestream from Mainz? We shall see.
Great stuff, my compliments to Taubenangriff and everyone else who worked on "New Horizons"
