One of the games Ubisoft revealed at today’s Forward event was Anno 117: Pax Romana, a new game in the Anno strategy game series. The trailer didn’t reveal too many details about the game, except that it takes place in the Roman Empire in the year 117 A.D. and that Ubisoft is targeting a release in 2025 for the title.
The game’s page on the Ubisoft Store reveals a bit more information: The players is one of the Roman governors, who has the option to shape the Empire as either a loyalist or a rebel. Specifically, the player is governor of Latium and Albion (a.k.a. Western Italy and England). The Store page shows what kinds of choices are available to the player: “Will you encourage economic growth or expand your rule through dominance? Lead with rebellion or unite a diverse culture?”
This will be the first new game in the Anno series since Anno 1800 launched in 2019. Ubisoft confirmed during the show that the game will launch on PC as well as PlayStation 5 and Xbox Series X/S.
