Players can also vote for a World President and vote in Senate Council. All humankind rally under one global government where the three main factions of the game control the worlds decisions. Global Trust, meanwhile, fill their workers with booze, fast food, casinos and aspirational TV programmes. In Anno 2070, politics are no longer defined by countries, boundaries, religions, races, etc., but how humans choose to produce energy. Eden Initiative workers are soft-spoken and demand only tea, vegetables and a concert hall.
Previous games in the Anno series have gotten a name change when released in the US, but there's no hint at this for Anno 2070 thus far. Anno 2070 squanders the topicality of its subject matter with factions that are cartoonishly good and evil.
Look for a single-player campaign, a single-player sandbox mode, online multiplayer and more. Players will be able to choose from two factions the environmentally friendly Ecos, or the technology-based Tycoons. Players will have to adapt to the new ecology while also developing new technology and still build up their trading empires, as in previous games in the series. And yes, that does mean this game will be set nearly 60 years in the future.ĭeveloped by Related Designs with some help from Blue Byte Software, the new game is a massive change to the IP, which has thus far been set in the Middle Ages.Īnno 2070 will be set in a future where climate change has caused oceans to rise. The long-running Anno series of simulation and strategy games is getting a new entry - and a new time period - thanks to publisher Ubisoft.
