Anno 117 Previews Praise Visuals and Co-Op, Flag Light Impact of Early Choices

The city-builder is slated for November 13 with cross-play across consoles and PC with cross-progression.

Overview

  • Previews cover Act I, noting dialogue options and two playable governors, Marcus or Marcia, with distinct setups.
  • Campaign co-op is available from the start, though early progression is gated and settlement expansion is limited in the opening chapter.
  • Distinct regions—Roman Latium and Celtic Albion—offer different citizens, resources, and choices about Romanization versus local customs.
  • Reviewers praise detailed visuals and smoother management via shared warehouses, free relocation, and area effects.
  • Some usability issues persist, including a steep learning curve and a weak tutorial, with several choices in Act I feeling low-impact.
