62 2 minutes read

Ubisoft has officially launched Anno 117: Pax Romana, a grand city-building and strategy game set during the height of the Roman Empire. Developed by Ubisoft Mainz, the studio behind Anno 1800, this latest entry in the award-winning franchise invites players to shape the destiny of Rome in the year 117 AD. The game is now available on PlayStation 5, Xbox Series X|S, Amazon Luna, Geforce Now, Blacknut, and Windows PC via Steam, Epic Games Store, and Ubisoft Connect.

For the first time in the Anno series, players can choose their own character to shape their story in a narrative-driven campaign. Play as Marcus, a young man striving to prove his worth amid political pressure, or Marcia, a woman seeking to take control of her fate during turbulent times. Every decision made as a Roman governor influences the lives of citizens and redefines what Roman leadership means.

In Sandbox Mode, players can freely customize their city-building experience. Two starting provinces are available: Latium, the heart of the Empire, and Albion, a rugged, untamed region. Each area offers distinct gods, beliefs, and cultures. In Albion, players can choose to embrace Celtic traditions or pursue Roman ambition. Every choice—from selecting deities to managing resources—will determine whether peace or conflict defines your reign.

The Standard Edition of Anno 117: Pax Romana includes the base game, while the Gold Edition features the Year 1 Pass, which offers three major DLC expansions:

Prophecies of Ash introduces new settlements in Latium, a massive volcanic island, and a new god to worship, offering fresh resources and strategic opportunities.
The Hippodrome lets players construct a monumental landmark inspired by the Circus Maximus, hosting thrilling chariot races to entertain citizens and attract elite specialists.
Dawn of the Delta expands the empire into desert territories and river valleys, blending Roman and Egyptian cultures while introducing new gods, units, and challenges.

In addition to the game’s release, the full original soundtrack by Dynamedion is now available on all major music platforms and YouTube. The album brings ancient Rome to life with orchestral arrangements, traditional instruments, and emotionally rich performances from a live symphonic orchestra.

Ubisoft Mainz continues to push creative boundaries in the city-building genre, combining historical detail with deep storytelling and dynamic gameplay systems. Supported by the German Federal Ministry of Research, Technology and Space, Anno 117: Pax Romana stands as one of the most ambitious historical simulation games ever made.
