The developers at Ubisoft Mainz have recently provided an exciting update on Anno 117: Pax Romana with a captivating new trailer. Initially, the game was set to explore two distinct regions: Lazio and Albion. However, the latest preview reveals that Lazio serves as the starting point for players, setting the stage for a dramatic transition to the main setting in Albion.
Creative Director Manuel Rainer explains that Lazio starts as a peaceful region, but a sudden catastrophe forces players to venture into uncharted territories. These new lands, representing Britain or Albion, are known for their challenging environment: harsh weather, rebellious tribes, and the considerable distance from Rome, which all pose significant governance challenges.
In Anno 117: Pax Romana, players step into the shoes of a governor, tasked with navigating these difficulties without relying solely on force. The game encourages players to build peace by respecting and integrating local customs. A notable feature is the ability to customize ships, allowing players to strategically decide between enhancing speed with oarsmen or boosting firepower with archery turrets on board.
Anno 117: Pax Romana is scheduled to launch in 2025, available on PC, PS5, and Xbox Series S/X platforms. Get ready to embark on a journey that blends strategy, diplomacy, and exploration in the rich historical setting of ancient Rome.
