Anno 117: Pax Romana Trailer Released Roman Empire Expansion Gameplay

Ubisoft Mainz has shared a new trailer revealing more about Anno 1800's successor, Anno 117: Pax Romana. Previous announcements highlighted Lazio and Albion as explorable regions; however, the trailer suggests Lazio serves as an introductory area before the main gameplay shifts to Albion.

Creative Director Manuel Rainer explains that Lazio starts peacefully, but a catastrophic event forces players to seek refuge in the unfamiliar lands of Britain (Albion). Albion presents significant challenges: a harsh climate, resistant native tribes, and its geographical remoteness from Rome create complex governance issues.

Players govern as a Roman official, tasked with overcoming these challenges through diplomacy and strategic choices, rather than solely military might. Respecting local customs is key to success. A notable feature is the customizable ship design, allowing players to prioritize speed with oarsmen or offensive capabilities with archery turrets.

Anno 117: Pax Romana is scheduled for release in 2025 on PC, PS5, and Xbox Series S/X.
