Anno 117: Pax Romana revealed more details about its brand-new campaign mode and upcoming content for its first year. A real-time building game set in the second-century Roman Empire, the latest installment of the Anno series will launch on November 13 and tasks you with building and maintaining settlements under the auspices of Rome, with the new Campaign mode putting you in the shoes of one of two characters, shaping their story through your choices.
Campaign Mode
In a first for the Anno series, you will take on the role of either Marcus or Marcia as they attempt to navigate the cutthroat political landscape of the Roman Empire, ruling their settlement while making the tough decisions necessary to survive and thrive. Marcus grapples with self-doubt after an unexpected appointment to Governorship and is desperate to prove his worth by defining what it means to be Roman and the cost of peace in the Empire. Meanwhile, Marcia defies the norms of a society dominated by the wealthy powerful. Her mysterious rise to the top gives you the opportunity to seize control and lead with conviction, shaping the lives of your citizens and redefining the very core of Roman rule. They have some difficult choices to make, and as the player, the cost of peace is yours to decide.
Year 1 Pass Content
You can expect three new pieces of content to launch in the first year of the game, which you'll have instant access to upon their release with the Year 1 Pass.
Prophecies of Ash
In Prophecies of Ash you'll discover Latium, a large, untamed island perfect for building massive cities. A wild untamed land abundant with resources, unique cultural encounters, a new deity to worship, and plenty of strategic depth await. But be wary, as the island also features a towering volcano with a burning desire to erupt.
The Hippodrome
Inspired by the legendary Circus Maximus, one of the largest stadiums ever built in the ancient world, you'll be able to construct your own arena and host thrilling chariot races to delight and excite your citizens, boosting your prestige and attracting elite specialists from across the Empire.
Dawn of the Delta
A new province, vast deserts, a mighty and fertile river - it all awaits you, along with a host of unfamiliar gods and a new culture. Journey to the distant Egyptian frontier to expand your reach and influence and establish a new foothold in this faraway land replete with new experiences, challenges, and unique needs from its Governor.
