Ubisoft Mainz

Anno 117: Pax Romana is out today! 🎉  After years of passionate work, we finally get to say it: we’ve launched. We’re honestly overwhelmed by the incredible response from press and content creators — seeing all the love and positivity around the game has been both humbling and energizing. It means the world to us and we can`t wait to watch the reactions from our players when they start playing today. ❤️  A big congratulations to our Anno team here at Ubisoft Mainz, the home of Anno for 20 years by now. With all the heart and soul you poured into the game, you’ve built something truly special. 👏  Big thanks as well to all the teams across Ubisoft studios — in Ubisoft Berlin, Ubisoft Romania, Ubisoft Düsseldorf, Ubisoft RedLynx, UBISOFT IVORY TOWER, Red Storm Entertainment, Ubisoft Reflections — and to our incredible QA partners in Kyiv (Ubisoft Ukraine Studios) and their colleagues from Bucharest and Ubisoft Montréal. You all supported us to made this world come alive. And of course, this wouldn’t be possible without our partners in Global Publishing and HQ — who’ve backed our crazy ambitions from the start. Making Anno is always a labour of love, and today’s launch is just one step in that journey.🚀

The international mentors are incredibly knowledgeable and helpful and really take the time to address our issues.

🎮 We're back from #gamescom2025 – and what an unforgettable ride it has been! For Ubisoft Mainz, this year marked our most successful Gamescom yet. From the moment the doors opened, our booth was swarmed with gamers excited to try out Anno 117: Pax Romana for the first time.    And it was a sight to behold. An impressive statue of the Town Crier welcomed thousands of players to take a deep dive in the Roman fantasy inside our booth. Once inside, an aqueduct, walking acts, statues of deities, and many more details brought the regions of Latium and Albion to life. (Our beloved town crier even paid us a visit in person.)    All that hard work paid off: we are bringing the Best PC Game Award and Best Booth Award home to Mainz! 🏆 Also, a shout out to our team behind the business booth, scoring yet another award. The response from the community was beyond anything we expected – seeing players immerse themselves in our world and showing their support means everything to us. A massive thank you to everyone who visited us, played the game, and celebrated this milestone with us.  🔥 Gamescom 2025 – a milestone we’ll never forget! #gamedev #ubisoft #videogames
