Ubisoft And Blue Byte Celebrate 15 Years Of Anno
Ubisoft and Blue Byte are celebrating the 15th anniversary of Anno, the long-running RTS series for PC. The first Anno title, Anno 1602, was released in Europe in 1998, and in North America in 2000 as 1602 A.D. The latest entry to the series is Anno Online, a free-to-play title that launched its North American closed beta in April.
To mark the 15-year milestone, developers are offering Anno Online players an in-game event called Annoversary, which includes new characters and quests via a new group of settlers who will be traveling through the player’s island. Additionally, players will have access to a new questline themed around a treasure-filled island discovered by the king’s cartographer.
Anno Online is now in open beta in North America. Check out a cinematic trailer for the game here.
I’d like to ask you to support Game Informer’s continued coverage of games with a subscription. For less than two dollars per issue, we mail you a full year of 10 print magazines, each with cover stories and preview features filled with exclusive details about the most exciting upcoming games. We profile and interview game creators. We look back on the rich history of gaming, and we celebrate what’s next.
Here on the website, we offer much of our content for free, including game reviews, daily news, videos, event coverage, and more – all with minimal ads.
We do so with a small editorial team, alongside contributing paid writers from around the world – over 65 individuals from 9 countries around the world, just in the last couple of years.
It’s not possible without support.
In a time when game makers and games coverage have faced hard struggles and layoffs, the future of this 30+ year magazine and community is at risk. Our new standalone magazine subscription is the number one way you can keep us alive – and we believe you’ll get a pretty fantastic gaming magazine in your mailbox every few weeks for your trouble.
Thank you.
