Ubisoft has officially unveiled new details about the story campaign and the Year One content plan for its upcoming historical city builder, Anno 117: Pax Romana. Players can now get a clearer picture of what awaits them both in the main campaign and the post-launch expansions included in the Year One Pass.
All details below come directly from the publisher’s official press release.
A New Era of Empire Building
Ubisoft announced the first major details surrounding the ambitious campaign and Year One Pass for Anno 117: Pax Romana.
In this new chapter of the acclaimed Anno series, players will embark on a transformative journey as a newly appointed Roman governor — facing difficult moral and political decisions that will shape the destiny of their provinces and define the future of the empire itself.
Alongside the main campaign, the Year One Pass expands the Roman world with new territories, events, and challenges — including a volcanic island, a monumental racing arena, and an Egyptian-inspired province.
Anno 117: Pax Romana launches November 13, 2025, for PlayStation 5, Xbox Series X|S, Amazon Luna, and Windows PC via Steam, Epic Games Store, and Ubisoft Connect.
Story Campaign: Choose Your Governor
For the first time in the history of the Anno franchise, players will be able to choose their protagonist and shape a personalized story through two distinct perspectives:
-
Marcus — A young man burdened by self-doubt after an unexpected appointment as a Roman governor. This is your chance to prove your worth and decide what it truly means to embody Roman ideals — because the price of peace will be yours to determine.
-
Marcia — A woman whose mysterious rise to power defies the patriarchal norms of the empire. Step into her rare opportunity to lead with confidence and redefine Roman leadership. Every decision you make as governor will influence your citizens’ lives and reshape the very concept of Roman governance.
Anno 117: Pax Romana Year One Pass: A Journey Beyond the Empire’s Borders
The Year One content plan introduces three ambitious DLC expansions, each offering new regions, mechanics, and challenges:
DLC 1 – The Provinces of Ash
Explore the largest island ever created in the Anno franchise — a volcanic landscape ruled by a new deity. This untamed region introduces unique cultural encounters, fresh resources, and deeper strategic opportunities.
DLC 2 – The Racecourse
Construct one of the grandest monuments in Anno history, inspired by Rome’s legendary Circus Maximus. Host thrilling chariot races to entertain citizens, increase your prestige, and attract elite specialists from across the empire.
DLC 3 – Dawn of the Delta
Venture into a new province shaped by vast deserts and a mighty river. Encounter unfamiliar rulers and a vibrant new culture as you expand Roman influence into these distant lands, building bridges between civilizations.
The Gold Edition of Anno 117: Pax Romana includes the Year One Pass, which will also be available separately for €34.99.
As governor of the great Roman Empire, every decision carries weight — and consequences. Developed by Ubisoft Mainz, Anno 117: Pax Romana continues the series’ legacy as a strategic city-building experience where your choices across provinces, leadership, technology, and military power determine the empire’s success.
In this immersive and authentic world, peace will never come without a price — and that price is yours to pay.
