With Ubisoft revealing that during its first week on sale Anno 1800 sold four times as many copies as the previous installment, Anno 2205. A remarkable feat and good news for city builders, a genre that lives almost exclusively on PC. With Anno 1800 being sold via the Epic Games Store and Uplay. And with success right out of the gate, Ubisoft Blue Byte plans to support the game in the months ahead with new content.
“Anno 1800 has been an incredible journey for all the people working at Ubisoft Blue Byte and we are so happy to see that players really enjoy playing our game. Since the announcement of the game, the community of Anno 1800 has provided us with endless useful feedback through our community platform Anno Union and helped us release an excellent game. We really feel privileged to have one of the most committed communities in the video game industry. After this amazing and successful launch, we now completely focus on delivering the best post-launch content possible for Anno 1800 and can’t wait to show you more!” said Benedikt Grindel, Managing Director at Ubisoft Blue Byte.
