As the announcement says, we did not take that descision lightly- at all. But we are confident it will help to make the game better and more polished for everyone.

OR
I haven't played Anno in a long time, how is the franchise these days? If I remember correctly, it's essentially Settlers with missions (I'm sure I'm being super reductive), but that sounds like something I could get into right now. Is there a definitive entry to play?

Only 2 months, it is not a big wait, if 2 months are enough to make a more polished game i'm good with the delay.

I'd say the definitve entry/ highpoint so far is Anno 1404/ Dawn of Discovery depending on where you live.

As for what it is, Anno is pretty much equal party city-building, economic sim and expploration (trade, diplomacy, war).

Thanks! I actually have Dawn of Discovery languishing in my massive Uninstalled list, I'm going to go ahead and get that downloading right now.

Really looking forward to this. I skipped the last entry mainly due to being tired of the future settings with 2070, but I'm fully onboard with the 1800 setting. I'm hoping a bit of a return to form as well with less of a focus on combat, as that was a bit odd in 2070.

The last Anno I really loved was sadly also the first Anno, 1602, but I'll will try 1800 when it's ready! Perhaps this entrie will ignite my love for the series once again!

I don't how they keep making these awful games, the last good one was in 2009. I wonder what awful and anti-consumer DRM this game will launch with, are you going to have sacrifice a chicken every time you want to start the game?

It's also on Steam and that has nothing to do with the quality of the game. It looks great!

This is going to be on Steam too? Interesting. I've been stoked for this and Total War: Three Kingdoms since forever. I need my city builders and strategy games.

Damn son, relax. Blue Byte stole your lunch money? Game is looking good and it's on Steam too. Not that there is anything wrong with Uplay.

Eh, two months are nothing, whatever.
If it helps the game I'm happy. As long as they don't cancel it.
Listen to me Yves. Don't. Don't do it. Stop it.

Settlers and Anno are being developed by two separate teams in separate studios, so our delay should not affect Settlers.

But settlers will be postponed as well I guess. It's the last chance to get traction with the series again and you guys know this quite well ;) it will be worth it I'm sure though

On Anno: too bad! But so I have some more time until it arrives here :) I'm really looking forward to the pre-ordered collector's edition! Skipped all the future annos and I'm really confident this will be great again

1800? You're way late at this point, bud! You're gonna have to add 219 annos to the title if you don't want a lawsuit on your hands!
Good luck with finishing the game :)
