Anno 2070 is the new upcoming release from Related Designs and Ubisoft. Its the 5th PC release of the Anno series which up until this point has all been set in the past (between 1404 to 1701) but as the name suggests, this is set in the future. And damn what a future it is. The game is post the near-apocalyptic event of the ice caps melting, raising the sea level so high that the only land left is the peaks of mountain ranges.
Strategising expressed in real-time, turn-based and the time-bending variants in between has been a cornerstone of gaming since close to its infancy. Here's a selection of the very best examples of strategy games to ever grace the medium.
These past two days, owners of Anno 2070 have been unable to play Ubisoft's city-buildi ng and economic simulation game. While trying to launch the game, players are currently receiving an Unknown Error when trying to connect to Anno 2
This is the main argument, and a good one, as to why a digital future is worrysome. We are all being tailored to playing games for a certain period of time and then moving on (this game is over 6 years old now). Servers are being shut down all the time for older titles but why can't they allow them to be playable offline?
Anno 2070, the simulation game released by Ubisoft on PC back in 2011, is now available for a reduced price on Uplay.
