Ubisoft has announced that Anno 2070, the latest iteration of the real time strategy series, is set for release on PC this winter.

Developed by Related Designs in collaboration with Blue Byte, the game promises to take players "into a world inspired by today's challenges and tomorrow's technologies".

Ubisoft said: "Anno 2070 takes place in a near-future environment where climate change has forced humanity to adapt to rising sea levels that have left stretches of once-fertile land completely inhospitable.

"Players need to master new technologies while facing numerous ecological challenges to build their empires. Anno 2070 offers players the ability to be architects of the future and create the world of tomorrow."

The publisher also listed the following as key features:

A new era: while adhering to the fundamentals that made the Anno franchise a success, the near-future setting will bring numerous new gameplay mechanics, architectural breakthroughs, and all new challenges. Additionally, players will be able to build massive cities, the scope of which has never been seen in prior Anno games.

A dynamic world: the world of Anno 2070 will evolve differently depending on each player's playing style and choices. Players' decisions will have an impact on the environment, the architectural look of their world, and the needs of their populations, leading them to refine and better understand the impact of their personal approaches to managing the world's resources.

Factions: players will be able to select between two factions when building their empires. Players can choose between an industrial and efficient course by joining the Tycoons or a more sustainable and environmentally-friendly direction by siding with the Ecos.

Single player campaign: a story-driven single player mode with a deep variety of challenges.

Single player "continuous mode": the renowned endless game mode where the objective is to build the biggest civilization possible without time constraints.

Multiplayer and Online features: Anno 2070 will include innovative online modes offering players brand new possibilities to get in touch with gamers all around the world.

Outstanding graphics: A new version of the game engine, developed specifically by Related Designs for Anno 2070, allows the game to deliver a breathtaking visual experience never before seen in the Anno franchise.

It's not just any DRM, it's that rubbishy Ubisoft DRM which requires you to be constantly online even for a single player game though I believe they are relaxing it a wee bit with forthcoming titles.

The game does sound interesting though.

They already have. You only need to be logged on at the start. If your web connection dies then nothing happens. Kind of like steam, but without an offline mode I believe.

Which is still ridiculously stupid. Why no offline mode?

Well your the ones missing out. Personally never had a problem, and most games i play are online anyway.

I won't buy it anyway, I've played Anno 1404 and found it average.
 
Tried 1404, was overly complicated for me lol

Far more complicated than one of the X series games lol

Tried to get into it, but with no tutorial and only loose online guides to use, quickly lost interest.
 
Well I didn't even know there was plans for another Anno game !! awesome !! the pictures look superb. If it's half as good as previous versions it's a must purchase...

I won't be buying it, but I won't be missing out on it either, if you know what I mean. I don't want to be inconvenienced by awful DRM, but I want to play the game. Best of both worlds.
 
Enjoyed most of old ANNO games but won't be buying this one. Futuristic strategy games just don't appeal to me at all.
