Anno 2205 heads to the moon in November

Blue Byte’s Anno series will be heading to the moon with Anno 2205 in early November. The latest in the city building and economic systems simulator series was announced via trailer at Ubisoft’s E3 event.

There’s a little more in the way of details at the official Anno 2205 site, namely:

• The Acclaimed City-Builder Reaches for the Stars: Colonize continents on Earth, establish Moon bases and mine the moon’s resources to transform your cities on Earth to thriving metropolises.
• Unlimited City-Building: Thousands of hours of accessible and challenging gameplay let you go beyond the story and ultimately grow monumental cities with thousands of buildings.
• Indulgent Graphics Bring Your City to Life: The new engine offers an unprecedented level of details, and now islands in ANNO 2205 can be five times bigger than in previous ANNO games.

It’ll be out on 3 November. By the sounds of things, pre-ordering the game will get you into a beta. Announcement and gameplay trailers can be seen below.
