Union Update: Happy Holidays 2023
Hey Anno Community,
This is it, our last Anno Union blog for 2023. It has been quite a year for us (even though mostly behind the scenes) and for Anno – which celebrated its 25th birthday this year! And we had Anno’s first full console release, as well as a big Annoversary update and mod support for our loyal PC players – together with Anno’s first ever modding contest.
From Anno 1602 to Anno 1800, Anno players could travel through history into the future; and to celebrate the end of this Annoversary and take a laaarge dose of nostalgia, we have a special trailer to commemorate the occasion:

Throughout the year, we have also covered all Anno games in dedicated livestreams with various guests from the team on our Twitch channel. The latest happened just a few days ago, on Tuesday, when we had Jannika (Game Writer) and Christian and Rico (UI Programmers) live on stream to talk about Anno and their work on Anno 1800 specifically. If you missed it, you can watch the VOD here.
2023 also marked the year for another milestone: Over 3 million players have joined the ranks of the Annoholics across PC and Console for Anno 1800 now! By popular request and for tradition’s sake, we have summarized some the achievements (and some incredible numbers!) in the image below:
Last but not least: Wallpapers! As usual, we’ll have all of this year’s artworks bundled together for you as a download. Just follow this link.
And… was there a teaser in our livestream on Tuesday? Maybe…
Could it lead to a page here on the Anno Union – when added to the URL – with some hints to the first Cosmetic DLC theme of 2024? Maybe…
Let’s just put this random video clip here:
Well, that was 2023! We’ll now be taking some time off over the holidays to recharge our batteries and wishing you all a great end of the year, happy holidays and a fantastic start into the new year.
See you in 2024, and thank you for being an awesome community!
All the best from Mainz,
The Anno Team

Anno 1800 Twitch stream from 12th Dec 2023 seams to be unavailable. Link in the text above points to https://www.twitch.tv/videos/2002198477 , or is the stream available behind different URL? Thanks.
Thank you for raising this, I’ve updated the URL. The video is available here: https://www.twitch.tv/videos/2007317093
What hurt me the most about Ubisoft is that they did not go ahead with the Circus cosmetic DLC
Loved all the CDLC this year and so excited for next year! I would love for new skins for the service buildings (like a Vehicle Liveries Pack for the city services) if that’s in the works. Feels like there’s something missing without it. Like maybe an upscale and downscale version? (Variety Theatre becomes either an Opera or a country play house)
