Anno 1800 is Blue Byte's new game

Ubisoft's Blue Byte studio is making Anno 1880, an RTS that takes place in the Industrial Revolution.

Back in April we reported that Ubisoft's newly formed Berlin studio was making a new AAA PC strategy game, and erroneously thought it'd be a Might and Magic sequel. Now Ubisoft has announced the game is Anno 1800, a new release in the landmark Anno series.

Anno 1800 will take place during the heyday of the 19th Century, and "combines features from 20 years of Anno history" with a rich story-based campaign and a city-building experience alongside a customizable sandbox and the traditional multiplayer experience.

The game is due in Winter 2018 for PC.
