UBISOFT REVEALS ANNO 117: PAX ROMANA GAMEPLAY
Today, Ubisoft revealed Anno 117: Pax Romana first gameplay details as the genre-defining builder franchise returns with its most ambitious instalment yet and one of the biggest games ever made about the Roman Empire.
Players will embark as a freshly appointed governor, sent by the Emperor to build and lead several provinces across the Empire, from the beautiful heartlands of Latium to the mysterious Celtic wetlands of Albion. Anno 117: Pax Romana will launch later in 2025 on PlayStation®5, Xbox Series X | S, Amazon Luna as well as Windows PC through Steam, the Epic Games Store and Ubisoft Connect.

BECOME A LEGENDARY ROMAN GOVERNOR
Players will be able to build the cities of their dreams during the height of the Roman Empire. From where to place their starting villa to how diligently they send taxes back to Rome, players must balance their people’s needs with their emperor’s demands. Cooperate with other governors through trade and diplomacy or—if they prefer—prove their military prowess by challenging rivals with strategic land battles and modular naval combat. They may even defy the Emperor himself—but not without consequences.
CHOOSE THE FATE OF YOUR PROVINCES
Every choice players make as governors matters. Will players embrace local Celtic culture or impose Roman traditions? From architectural styles to which gods to worship, the degree to which players Romanize their provinces is up to them. Will they foster growth through diplomacy and deep economic ties or expand their territory through military might? Will they loyally serve the Emperor or foment rebellion? Their decisions will shape not only the future of their citizens and their provinces, but their own story as well.
EXPERIENCE THE PREMIER BUILDER GAME
Players build their provinces with unprecedented scale, detail, and flexibility. From kids chasing dogs through the streets to thousands cheering on the spectacles of the colosseum, players will take their provinces from a single settlement to multiple eternal cities across several provinces. From islands on the horizon to distant mountains, players can build upon almost any terrain they see— all with a graphical quality that is the benchmark for the genre.
Developed by Ubisoft Mainz, Anno 117: Pax Romana is a premiere builder game in which every facet of your city can be controlled; and how players will choose to build and govern will shape their story, their citizens’ destiny, and their provinces’ future. In this immersive and authentic world, where the cost of peace is for players to decide.
Anno 117: Pax Romana will release in 2025 with cross-play and cross-progression on PlayStation®5, Xbox Series X | S, Amazon Luna as well as Windows PC through Steam, the Epic Games Store and Ubisoft Connect.
