About Anno
Anno builds island chains with production ratios from docks to palaces. Anno 1602 in 1998 sets colonies, 1503 in 2002 widens Venice, 1701 in 2006 adds island claims, and 1404 in 2009 defines orient occident splits. Anno 2070 in 2011 jumps to eco tycoon futures, 2205 in 2015 moves to sessions, and 1800 in 2019 returns to industrial revolution depth.
Anno 117 Pax Romana from 2025 starts in Rome with provinces. Entries stand alone by era with no story order to follow. New players often start with 1404 History Edition, 2070 for future mood, or 1800 with DLC for the fullest loop and mods.
Good to know
Release order shows chains grow from fish to oil to chips, but start with the era art you like most. Anno 1404 remains the fan balance peak, 1800 runs deepest with tourists and DLC, and 117 plays newest with Roman roads. Expansions belong with their base game rather than apart. Treat 117 as latest rather than last, since Ubisoft keeps seasons arriving.
