That they were willing to take a bet on a completely new setting astonished us in the same way it made us happy. To our surprise, 2160 was the idea which excited Ubisoft most when we presented our five proposals for the next setting. What if the fifth Anno would allow players to not only build their settlements on islands above the sea level, but also on plateaus deep beneath it? That idea was fascinating to us.

We had the first ideas after watching the movie вњЅeep BlueВ« and reading an article regarding the possible economic use of the deep sea. However, we still wanted to explore that idea for a setting as we saw the potential for many interesting possibilities for the look and the design of the game. We ended up with five concepts for our setting: Anno 117, Anno 1602, Anno 1800 (yes, we thought about that quite a while ago), Anno 2160 and Anno 3006.ДЇor the Anno 2160 concept, we noted down that it was В»probably too crazyВ«. We had considered all kinds of sensible and crazy time periods, and spent a lot of time with the ones which made most sense for the series, with options such as Anno 1305 or wild ideas like Anno Vikings.

They wanted us to inject a fresh new take into the franchise and it was on us to bring up ideas for a new setting.Д«ut what should be the new time period for the next Anno? Which solution would work with the traditional game elements of the series but would also offer something unexpected? When the Ubisoft delegation arrived in our office in November 2008, we were prepared with a presentation, including all of our combined ideas for the game with the working title вњєnno 5В«.

Our publisher (back then, Related Designs was not a full part of the Ubisoft network) wanted the fifth installment of the series to be a bigger step and an interesting iteration of the franchise. It was shortly before the release of Anno 1404. I remember as if it was yesterday, when we set the first corner stones for the development of Anno 2070. The stream will go live this Friday, 17 th November at 4pm CEST, as usual on our Ubisoft Blue Byte Twitch channel: Based on your feedback to the last anniversary event, we decided to ramp up the difficulty level a bit to keep the tension high. Tune in this Friday to join our Anno 2070 anniversary stream. As this week marks the 6 th birthday of Anno 2070, we would like to share a few memories of our developers and the Anno union with all of you. With the futuristic setting came not only drastically changed visuals for the series, but also an expansion of the Anno formula, as it was now possible to explore the deep sea and settle on the ocean floor. With Anno 2070, we changed our sails with high tech ferries and were ready to explore the world of the future, where global warming changed the planet and caused the sea to conquer the continents. In 2011, the face of the Anno series changed with a giant leap into the future.
