As part of the open beta-tests of Anno 1800, you can check both the multiplayer mode and the entire first act of the story campaign. According to the official announcement, the version made available by Ubisoft is very similar to what the players will receive for the release. This is not surprising, considering the fact that the title will be released on April 16. Thanks to this solution, the developer achieves two things - firstly, they can convince the still hesitant people to buy the title, and secondly, they show the participants of closed beta-tests what changes and improvements were introduced based on the community response.
