Ubisoft Mainz has recently shared exciting new details about the upcoming game, Anno 117: Pax Romana, through a captivating trailer. Initially announced to feature two distinct regions, Lazio and Albion, the preview suggests that players will start their journey in the tranquil region of Lazio. However, an unexpected disaster will drive them to venture into the uncharted territories of Albion, which represents Britain in the game.
According to Creative Director Manuel Rainer, Lazio serves as a peaceful starting point, but players will soon face challenges that force them to move into Albion. This region is known for its harsh climate, rebellious tribes, and its significant distance from Rome, making governance a complex task. As a governor, players must navigate these challenges without solely relying on violence. Instead, they can strive to achieve harmony by respecting and integrating local customs.
A notable feature of Anno 117: Pax Romana is the ability to customize ships. Players can strategically choose to enhance their ships' speed with additional oarsmen or bolster their firepower with onboard archery turrets, adding a layer of tactical depth to the gameplay.
Anno 117: Pax Romana is scheduled to launch in 2025, and will be available on PC, PS5, and Xbox Series S/X platforms, promising an immersive experience for strategy game enthusiasts.
