Ubisoft Mainz has recently unveiled exciting new details about their upcoming game, Anno 117: Pax Romana, through a captivating trailer. While initial announcements highlighted the exploration of two distinct regions, Lazio and Albion, the latest preview reveals that Lazio serves as the starting point before players transition to the primary setting in Albion.
According to Creative Director Manuel Rainer, Lazio starts as a peaceful region, but an unexpected disaster forces players to venture into uncharted territories. These new lands, representing Britain (Albion), are notorious for their harsh climate, rebellious tribes, and remote distance from Rome, presenting significant governance challenges.
In Anno 117: Pax Romana, players take on the role of a governor, tasked with navigating these challenges without relying solely on violence. Instead, fostering peace and harmony is encouraged by respecting and integrating local customs. One of the game's standout features is the ability to customize ships, allowing players to strategically choose between speed enhancements through oarsmen or increased firepower with onboard archery turrets.
Anno 117: Pax Romana is set to launch in 2025, and will be available on PC, PS5, and Xbox Series S/X platforms. Get ready to embark on a journey of governance and exploration in the ancient world.
