Ubisoft has announced that Anno, the city-builder strategy game from Blue Byte will make its mobile debut soon with ANNO: Build an Empire on iPad. Developed in close collaboration with Mi’pu’mi Games, an independent studio founded by former Rockstar Game developers.
The franchise has been rebuilt from the ground up to be compatible with mobile gameplay, featuring a touchscreen interface that makes building cities easier than ever.
Players will start off with one island, building it from the ground up to ensure its citizens are happy and healthy. Once players become skilled city planners, the most determined players create additional islands, managing multiple islands while guaranteeing safe trading routes with their neighbours.
Social elements from previous ANNO titles will also be incorporated into ANNO: Build an Empire and players will have a chance to challenge friends and foes and invite them to take part in this stand-alone ANNO adventure.
ANNO: Build an Empire will require at least iOS 6 and at least an iPad 2 or higher and an internet connection to play.
