Like Anno 2205, the game will feature multi-session gameplay, though unlike its predecessor, combat and city-building sessions will not be separated. The game will feature a story campaign, a sandbox mode, and multiplayer mode. Anno 1800 takes place in the 19th century at the dawn of the Industrial Age. Following the previous installment, the game returns to the series’ traditional city-building and ocean combat mechanics, but introduces new aspects of gameplay, such as tourism, “blue-printing”, and the effects of industrialisation influences on island inhabitants. It is the seventh game in the Anno series, and returns to the use of a historical setting following the last two titles, Anno 2070 and Anno 2205, taking place during the Industrial Revolution in the 19th century. Anno 1800 is a city building real-time strategy video game, developed by Blue Byte and published by Ubisoft, and launched on April 16th 2019 in North America.
