UNVEILING PC SPECS AND FEATURES

Anno 117: Pax Romana is set to redefine the strategy genre by offering a premiere gameplay experience. This vision will be realized through the creation of the most expansive simulation ever built, powered by Ubisoft Mainz Empire Engine, and enhanced by a wide range of cutting-edge technological advancements: 

  • GPU-driven dynamic grass movement and terrain displacement mapping – For governors who take pride in seeing their lands come alive, with vegetation swaying naturally in the wind and terrain responding realistically to the expansion of their province. 
  • Ray tracing, global illumination, and atmospheric scattering – For governors who appreciate the beauty of the outdoors, where light reflects authentically across surfaces, fog drifts through the marshes of Albion, and weather evolves dynamically throughout the day 
  • Crowd simulation and day-night cycle – For governors eager to explore the vibrant streets of their provinces at any hour of the day or witness the energy of a coliseum crowd rising with the rhythm of the day.
