Announcing the Anno Day event!

Hey Anno Community!

April is right around the corner, today is Anno 1602’s birthday AND the release of Anno 117: Pax Romana’s first DLC, “Prophecies of Ash”, isn’t far anymore.

We want to kick-off this month with a full day event: Anno Day!

A day celebrating 28 years of Anno games across the ages with a 9-hours livestream – yes, 9 full hours, you read that correctly. Whether you’ve been with us from the start or joined us in recent years, you are welcome to join us as we cannot wait to experience this day with all of you Annoholics!

There’ll be live gameplay, giveaways, developer Q&A opportunities, special guests and… reveals? Mark April 9^th in your calendars and join us on Twitch!

A day just for Anno

On April 9^th, we invite you all to join us for a day fully dedicated to Anno, to look back at the series that accompanied your (and our) lives for such a long time.

In our 9h Anno Day livestream, starting at 8AM UTC (10AM CEST, i.e. Mainz time), we’ll travel through time – starting with Anno 1602, followed by Anno 1701, Anno 1404 and Anno 2070. In each segment we’re joined by two Anno devs, sharing their memories, experiences and anecdotes. And of course, we would love to read your Anno memories and stories, too – so feel free to share them with us in chat during the livestream!

In the afternoon, we’ll have a dedicated Q&A session for Anno 117: Pax Romana as well as two special gameplay segments. What we’ll show there and with whom? You will see!

You can also expect multiple giveaways throughout the day as well as an Anno cooking show!

Times below are in CEST, i.e. UTC+2:

Furthermore, you will be able to earn three (3) Twitch Drops between April 9th and 11th by watching any Twitch streams in the Anno 117: Pax Romana category. The watch time, is, as always, cumulative, meaning you can spread your watch time over multiple channels and days. The three drops are listed below with their respective watch time requirements: the Hyperion player logo, the Mossy Skin for the Celtic Market… and the Town Crier himself!

If you can’t quite make it this time watching so much Anno content: we’re planning to give you a way in the future to get this content.

We’re looking forward to celebrating the Anno series with you next week, sharing both memories from past games, as well as a look into the future with you. Because… yes, as we said at the beginning: April also is the month when we climb the volcano and check, how much truth the Prophecies of Ash hold…

See you on April 9^th on the Anno Twitch channel!
