Of course, Anno 117 Pax Romana will be released on PC. If you would like to play it on Steam, the situation is more complicated. However, it is likely that it will be available on Valve’s platform, too. However, we have good news for console fans. The game will be available on Xbox Series X / S and PS5.
Release Date and Price of Anno 117 Pax Romana
As of now, there is not much known about price and release date of Anno 117 Pax Romana. However, developers have announced that the game will be released next year. The premiere of the game in the first half of 2025 is unlikely, though. Laura Kate Dale in the article for Epic Games News mentioned that creators want to show gameplay of Pax Romana to the public at the beginning of the next year. Taking into consideration that we still do not know any details; we can assume that the new Anno title will appear no sooner than the middle of the year.
Setting of Anno 117 Pax Romana
While the information about the game is scarce, we can’t say that we know nothing. In the interview with Ellie Vengala, Communications Specialist for Ubisoft, Manuel Reinher, Creative Director of the game, shared some details (via Xbox news).
Let’s start with the date – 117. It is not a random number, as the developers announced, this period was picked because it was the golden era for the Roman Empire. Time of relative peace and the biggest area of the country. It means that it is the ideal period for Anno franchise. Moreover, Manuel Reinher underlined that all years from this series’s titles, after adding the digits together, equal 9. So, tradition is preserved.
At the beginning of the game, we will have a chance to pick a province, it is something new in the series. One of them will be set in Albion (ancient Great Britain), another in sunny Italy, close to the center of the empire.
Choices and other features in Anno 117 Pax Romana
According to Manuel Reinher, Anno 117 Pax Romana will feature a lot of important decisions, starting with already mentioned picking of the province at the beginning. It will not be a cosmetic choice, though. As we can read in the already mentioned Epic Games News article, developers revealed some important information on Gamescom 2024. It seems that, at least in the case of Albion province, choosing its culture will be crucial and have consequences. Will you maintain local traditions or Romanize them? We expect that at least equally important choices will occur in the case of the other starting point.
Developers also care about details. In the Xbox news interview, the creative director gave an example that after zooming in we will be able to see even kids playing on the street or a cheering crowd in the Colosseum.
