Starting today until August 25* players can play for free Anno 1800 on Uplay and the Epic Games Store. The free trial includes the first three tiers of the sandbox mode along with the multiplayer mode. In addition, players will be able to try out for the first time the upcoming day & night cycle and enjoy the beauty of their city by night, to be released as a free update for every Anno 1800 player on September 10.
For Anno players who already own the game, please keep in mind that while the Day & Night cycle will be coming to the full game as a free update on September 10, you can only try it next week as part of the Free Week version.

On September 10, Season pass holders will discover Botanica, the second DLC of Anno 1800. Players will be able to grow their city’s attractiveness to new heights with a modular Botanical Garden, allowing them to earn new items and rewards as they draw the tourist masses to their floral masterpiece. Alternatively, they will be able to construct the new Musical Pavilion and enjoy beloved tracks from previous Anno games inside their city.
Beyond that, we are happy to give you a first small teaser at our third DLC, The Passage, which is coming this Winter, and will allow you to construct your very own trading airships!

I paid the full price only to find out I CANNOT continue from where I left off! It’s a fresh installation after you buy the game! Copying game saves does not help either. I think I’ll opt for a refund.
… i have been using the Day/Night mode as a Mod and it works great. it is good to know that it will soon be a standard feature.
also looking forward to the Botanicals DLC. i have not yet designed my Crown Falls blue print layout until i can include the botanical gardens space in the plan.
Awesome update. All the new content looks fantastic.
Indeed! 😀
I hope though that at the reported bugs will be fixed sooner and we don’t have to wait until the DLC’s patch… :S
Cannot see the trailer for the new DLC. says not available in my country.
Come on guys I live in the US. Get on the ball so everyone can enjoy it to see what is coming. PLease!!
Hello Barracuda, are you able to see this one here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UowsqoV0egc
This should be the right one for you. 🙂
Yes and Thanks for the link. Really looking good.
I wont be able to play with my friends who play the free week version, when I already bought the game right?
I still regret buying this game. Unfinished, unstable and unbalanced. A lot of promises made that were never realized and a lot of withholding and poor communication to try and cover their mess up. “It will be the successor to 1404 that you always wanted”, but it will be nothing like it and not contain co-op (and we won’t bother to mention when it will be available either). Instead of fixing the game and include the things we promised, let’s make more biomes and include a day and night cycle…………….
I hope someone somewhere within the company that made this game at least acknowledges that there is a lot to improve upon and that the next game in the series is to be better in most regards.
Why you say game is unfinished, unstable and unbalanced ? Can you explain?
Somewhat disappointed to see the airships in “The Passage”, feels a bit more steampunk than I would have liked. Hope it’s not too over the top
Important question: can I control my city lighting with iCue? Because I have a Corsair RGB setup, and I’d really love to see my city in RGB rainbow. To match the rest of my machine.
WHY
For the glory of the empire.
jep cool demo
Very good trailer, I got a concert to get too on September’s 10th.
