And cleaned up, thanks for your patience!
Keep the questions coming.

One of my favorites was the christmas tree on the market in 1404 during christmas time.

Very likely that those with keen eyes will have a few things to discover. Read more

Would be great to select from various nations that have unique and specialized buildings and units similar to Age of Empires III. This has always been one of my biggest gripes with the franchise. Would love to see different colonial powers ie. England, Spain, France, Portugal, Germany, Netherlands, United States and Japan represented in the game.

While i get why people would like that, Anno has always been more about a tongue-in-cheek reference to history than an accurate representation of it, hence why we will not feature real life personalities and nations. We do have our own cast of characters in the Anno-series, like the Jorgensen family line.
A bit of more info about our take on historical accuracy can be found here. Read more

As of now, we haven't announced any browser-connection or the ability to play the game via browser. Read more

Anno 1800 will not only return to the historical roots of the series, but we also will feature sandbox mode, physical goods, classic Anno multiplayer and more. The full scope of our vision can be found here. Read more

Right now, we focus on getting a launch on Windows PC only. We'll talk about post-launch stuff at a later time.

There was no competition in single player mode.

We have already shown off one of our Neutral Powers with Eli Bleakworth and we will show more in the future, so stay tuned for that. Read more

Slavery will not play a role in Anno 1800. It might be that there are elements in the game which reflect the topic in a certain way but we will not go into detail about it. We dont think that a game like Anno and also we as developers can cover this topic in an appropriate way. We are focussing on a game which delivers a fun strategy experience set in the given setting.

This is correct.

I am now going to close this thread as we'd prefer that you guys either talk about TTS Stuff on the TTS Forums (link to that is in your Emails and the Uplay Client) or send us a PM. NDA and such. Read more

No, you'll be in the pool of possible candidates already if you've logged into the Anno Union at least once.

Today we have an important update for all our Anno Union members: The release date of Anno 1800 will now be April 16, 2019. This wasnt an easy decision for us because we know how much you are looking forward to the release, and we ourselves cant wait to have you all experience the full game. Since the announcement of the game at Gamescom 2017, we have always been committed to deliver the best Anno experience possible at launch.
We are very happy with where the game and its wide mix of new and classic features are today, but we know that it can be even better with a little additional polish and tuning. These extra weeks will allow us to deliver a game that fully lives up to its potential. Of course, you dont have to just take our word for it! Starting next week on January 31st, our Closed Beta test will allow many of you to get your hands on the game to see for yourself how we are bringing the world of the industrial revolution to Anno. On that note, we are also happy to con... Read more

Hey Neo, fitting choice of avatar for your question there! Right now, we are focusing on the 19th century but who knows where we will go after that? You definitely should have a look at Anno 1800 to let us know your feedback for the game. Read more
