The last two games in the city builder/strategy series, Anno 2205 and Anno 2070, have been set in the future. For the first time since 2009, the series returns to the past—specifically, the early 19th century, at the dawn of the industrial age. The game will feature both multiplayer and single player, with the latter including both a standard story-driven campaign (where you can face off against individual AI-controlled opponents) as well as an open sandbox mode.
