All these teases and "if this gets x amount of like we will reveal release date" is all pre planned and scripted. I sincerely doubt the devs are being pressured by the player's like that.
Then you'd be surprised to learn that we actually came up with that yesterday morning.
The teasers are planned for a longer time already, of course, same with our overall communication strategy. But that doesn't mean that we can't have some additional fun from time to time.
On one hand I hope the release date is very close but at the other hand I fear that the marketing team might push the DLC too early because people want it now.
I still have very bad memories of that from the game Stellaris and their MegaCorp DLC. People wanted it so bad and the publisher gave in, leaving the game in an unplayable state that still leaves issues today (almost 3 years after the release of said DLC).
So yeah, I obviously want the DLC now, I love playing the game insanely much right now (have put in almost 130 hours in just roughly 2 months) but I also want them to release the DLC when THEY are REALLY ready for it.
Just to clear up some misconceptions: The release dates are set and proposed by us (but ofc communicated with the other teams within Ubisoft). We're not being pressured into keeping those or releasing on a set date by anyone but ourselves ;)
To clarify any potential confusion: We will release the first DevBlog tomorrow, and as part of that will reveal the release date. The DLC is not coming out tomorrow :)
For those interested, I think it's clearly inspired by Paris' Grands Magasins, considered to be the start of modern malls.
The round tower in the angle makes me think of Le Bon Marché with its large windows and canopy. Also, the inner side of the building has a lot of glass roofs.
I don't know if they were specifically used as a reference in this case, but the first time I saw this building I definitely thought of Paris as well :)
Some very cool ideas in here! The idea of an oasis as an island in the dune sea is definitely one that has popped up before during our own discussions as well. Though, to be fair, a lot of cool ideas are thrown around and never end making it into a game during development :)
I just heard this on Twitter, hope it is true?
"Tune in tomorrow evening for the date reveal with our first DevBlog for "The High Life" on the Anno Union!."
Just saying...
OH MA GAWD! Raven, you tease! 🤣
Cant wait to see what this dlc has in store!
“Raven you tease”
This is the way.
Will these replace markets? Saw this on Twitter, if not can we please get upgraded public buildings for larger cities? Thank you.
They are not replacing any existing buildings.
Is there an estimate for the release? I’m still playing through the previous DLCs.
Between today and September 21st :)
Nice! Looks amazing! Probably a dev diary coming next week then?
Or even before that, who knows!
