1800
Ubisoft brings construction games to consoles for the first time
The Anno 1800 makes a quantum leap to keyboards. This is really a first, because it has never happened before in Anno’s 25-year history. Although the building game, which was released in 2019, is constantly being developed and expanded and thus remains very popular, this is an unprecedented move for Blue Byte. To date, the Anno brand has been designed specifically for computers.
So transportation should have been more difficult, Developers report. Not only was there a lot to think about, but some things also had to be redesigned. In particular, the basic create menu has undergone changes in the console version and will be implemented as a radial menu so that it remains easy to use with a gamepad. Due to the greater distance between the players and the screen, the area map has been enlarged, and some items have been moved to other parts of the screen. Added to this is the function of automatically building roads around the building blocks. Co-op and multiplayer mode are preserved.
