The next part of the famous management and strategy game series Anno 117: Pax Romana is already causing great excitement among fans of the genre.

Anno 117 announces a highly requested feature
The message published by Ubisoft on social networks about Anno 117 is simple but impressive: “We're on the road again! Where will it take us? What will we see along the way? Stay tuned!” The image accompanying this text shows a winding road that leads through a green landscape. A detail that could revolutionize the gameplay of the series. For fans, this nod to winding roads could mean a radical shift in infrastructure management. This is a central element of Anno's gameplay.
Until now, the streets in Anno were mostly straight or rectangular. With curved streets it would be possible to better represent Roman-era infrastructure, which often followed the natural curves of the terrain. This enhanced realism would allow for an even more immersive and historically faithful experience.
Plus d'immersion
These winding roads would also open up new strategic opportunities. Anno 117 players would have more freedom in designing their cities, allowing them to optimize space and improve the flow of goods and people. This would add a new dimension to urban planning.
In terms of visuals, curved streets could provide a more varied and organic environment. These elements would provide a new level of detail. At the same time, immersion is heightened and ancient landscapes come to life, resulting in an even more immersive experience.
