Anno 1800 - With Update 13, big changes are coming in December

Anno 1800: What fans of the popular building game can expect

Anno 1800 is one of the most popular games and has a huge fan base. So it's no wonder that every development is followed meticulously and even small changes in performance and balancing are celebrated by the community. In December it will finally be time and the players can expect a large package of changes.

With the Update 13 in December, there will be major changes

December will be the big month of change for Anno 1800. The "Update 13" is not only supposed to provide some new features visually. The depth of the game should also be improved, bugs fixed and ultimately the entire ecosystem improved. The focus is first on bug fixing. The last seasons have shown that the game still has some bugs. These do not significantly disturb the game play, but are then somehow a big annoyance in detail. Here the developers finally promise relief. The new Green-Game-Jam project comes completely new into the game.

This is an extension in which the player can travel to a new region. There he then realizes ecological projects that contribute to the success of his entire settlement. New mechanisms have been integrated for this, which should influence the entire ecosystem of the game. Monocultures should have a harmful effect in the future and the construction of industries for the environmental project must be designed much more effectively and sustainably. This is a major intervention in the game mechanics and the users can quite rightly be curious about how the world of Anno 1800 will change.

The update is free, but additional content will come with DLCs

The first good news is that the entire update including the new game content is completely free. But that does not apply explicitly to new content that will be added over time. If the response of the community is positive, the idea of implementing environmental projects can be expanded even further. The limit of development possibilities is therefore far from being reached and should be extended even further. However, no further and chargeable extensions are to be expected before the beginning of the next year.

So the new update will be like a kind of Christmas present that the players can look forward to. Since the new update is very comprehensive, it is highly recommended to back up older game states in order to preserve them
