A limited time public demo will be available for all players eager to build their Roman Empire on September 2
SYDNEY, AUSTRALIA – AUGUST 21, 2025 – Today, Ubisoft uncovered a new region in Anno 117: Pax Romana: Albion, the mysterious Celtic province where no civilized Roman wants to be. As the genre-defining builder franchise, Anno 117: Pax Romana unveils a new way of discovering the Roman Empire through its unknown secrets.
As a ruling governor of the great Roman Empire, the players’ choices will matter every step of the way … and never without consequences. Developed by Ubisoft Mainz, Anno 117: Pax Romana is a premiere city builder game in which the player’s choice of province, gods, technology, and military might determine the happiness of their residents and success of their empire. In this immersive and authentic world, the cost of peace is for players to decide. Anno 117: Pax Romana will launch on November 13, 2025, simultaneously on PlayStation®5, Xbox Series X | S, Amazon Luna as well as Windows PC through Steam, the Epic Games Store and Ubisoft Connect.
ALBION: THE MYSTERIOUS CELTIC WETLANDS
Far from the marble columns of Latium, Albion offers a unique gameplay experience where players can choose from either protecting Celtic traditions or reinforcing Roman ambitions. Along the way, they uncover myths and rites that define its people’s beliefs and way of life. The new Romanization feature deepens this choice, allowing players to integrate with Albion’s local culture or enforce Roman custom.
By either choosing Albion as the starting province to build your Empire or discover these mysterious lands later, players can discover new ways of governing and features such as:
- An Expanded Pantheon of Celtic deities– Upon arriving in Albion, players can unlock new gods through the Discovery Tree including Epona, Mercury-Lugus, and Cernunnos. Some deities become available only through specific choices, each granting unique benefit to your empire and your residents who worship them.
- Access to new technology – As players uncover Albion’s hidden secrets, new technologies emerge, empowering governors to shape the province to their vision. From innovations like marsh drainage—a hallmark of Roman engineering—to other transformative advances, each discovery opens new opportunities for expansion and ambition.
- Romanization – When they set foot on Albion for the first time, newly appointed governors will find a wild and untamed land—uncharted by Romans yet rich in Celtic heritage. As governor, you must decide: preserve Celtic traditions or advance Roman ambition. Whichever path you choose, your residence will have needs and require specific resources.
