Thanks guys, super excited to finally get to announce the date ❤️
No, Th music is not for the soundtrack. The in-game music is full orchestral by the same composer as our last few games.

Please be good. Playing 1404 when I want to hop back into some peaceful economy management is getting a bit old after so many years.
I'm confident it will be. My biggest complaint with the last few games has been the futuristic settings so obviously that's not a problem here. And it looks gorgeous.
Can't wait for this, combining the best of 1404/2070/2205 is great.
Been playing through 1701 + 2205 and 1404 + 2070 (again) recently. 2070 definitely introduced solid new mechanics and improvements, I honestly liked the future aesthetic and differences between Eco/Tycoon/Tech factions. Honestly, 2205 felt a bit like misstep in terms of gameplay fundamentals, map design, and the campaign (especially narrative). Would be happy to see the module mechanic and move building feature (for lower difficulties) carry over to 1800.
Hope someone's around to post and maintain a thread on the Anno Union updates. The audio, new mechanics like culture + attractions, electricity etc. look fantastic.

Almost certainly the former. None of the main games are on Mac (or Linux).
Only Windows PC.
Thanks, glad to hear it. Feel free to ask if you have any questions (though replies may take a bit due to general gc madness).
New gameplay in German:
UI-wise: love the return of building menu selections arranged by production chain akin to 2070, and very happy to see the viewed population/residential tier return to a fixed position on the right-hand side.
Possible for a developer walkthrough after GC ends or an AnnoCast this month?

I'm not. I wanted space colony Anno, which I thought would be the most natural progression.

Any chance of RTX support? The game already looks incredible, but it can look even better :)
We will definitely do a post-gc stream in September to walk the people at home through the new content.
Fun fact, I am writing this post with the award right next to me :p
No plans for that, sorry.
Looks great so far. I was not too hot on the last ones but sounds like this will be more traditional.
The Raytrace-begging has begun...
Com_Raven How will the game compare in terms of complexity to other Anno games?
For example in the very first you didn't need villages to unlock new machinery and farms on new island with different biomes (because they haven't been different ones), while in 1404 that was the case. And are there any recommended videos to show totally new mechanics in this game? Thanks

Apart from the loss of 2D charm at most, it's pretty hard to see how the series has become a 'generic city builder' given the fundamentals have always been production chains and using trade to boost incomes while satisfying increasing population requirements. Nothing wrong with more city-building options, and there are difficulties + scenarios in 1404/2070 dedicated to building cities through trade (without taxes).
I have no idea what kind of game this is (some kind of empire management sim maybe?) but it looks very awesome and I want to try it.
It's a city-building game with strong business simulation elements. Build a colony, manage resources, make people happy, sell goods, expand and advance. It has small combat and diplomacy parts as well but that's not the focus I would say.
Oh sweet, I've been wanting a good one of those. I'm definitely gonna check it out.
Don't know which setting you prefer, if you like the modern setting I'd check out 2070. If you like a less modern setting go for 1404 or 1701.
Most of them (if not all) are currently on sale in Uplay. If you prefer the "older" settings go for Anno 1404, if you prefer the future go with Anno 2070 or the latest 2205.
