If you’d like to know more on military and combat, we’ll publish a DevBlog here on the Anno Union in the upcoming weeks and will also cover the topic in a livestream: so, keep an eye on our socials and the news ticker here if you don’t want to miss out.

Pre-order the game now! 

Yes, you read that right: you can now pre-order Anno 117: Pax Romana prior to its release on November 13th on your preferred platform! You can pre-order the game for PC here:

And the Console Edition here:

There are different Editions of the game available, plus, if you pre-order game you will get the special “Builder Pack” as extra content.  

Standard Edition

This includes the base game (digital key for PC, digital key or physical copy for Console) of Anno 117: Pax Romana.

Build your provinces with unmatched detail, flexibility, and scale. Watch kids chase dogs through the streets or admire thousands cheering in the arena. Build upon the land that you see, from the beautiful heartland of Latium to the mysterious Celtic wetlands of Albion… where no civilized Roman wants to be.

Design the cities of your dreams at the peak of the Roman Empire as you balance your people’s needs with the relentless demands of the emperor. Forge alliances across the empire or showcase your might with strategic land battles and naval combat. You may even defy the emperor himself—but not without consequences.

Gold Edition

The Gold Edition includes the base game, plus the Year 1 Pass: this means the three upcoming DLCs, as well as the Day 1 Content (3 Player Sigils, 1 Ship Skin, 1 Ornament).

Governor’s Edition

Finally, let’s take a closer look at the Governor’s Edition: this will include everything included in the Gold Edition and MUCH more. This physical edition will only be available from retailers and only for PC (Ubisoft Connect) and PlayStation 5. Let’s have a look at what’s inside:

  • Steelbook
  • Forged Anno symbol
  • Albion & Latium coins
  • Amphitheatre 3D puzzle
  • Artbook
  • 3 lithographs
  • Town Crier’s letter
  • Blueprint of the Tesserae Works

    If the Governor’s Edition had a Steam Key instead of a uplay key, I’d buy it as soon as possible. Unfortunately I have yet to buy physical uplay game, where the included activation key works. Not even considering the bloatware that uplay is (slow, unwieldy bad design and bad downloader).

    Please give us a Steam Key edition for the Governor’s Edition

  2. B Baumwaldmensch June 15, 2025

    Kann man die Governor’s Edition auch auf Steam aktivieren?

    •   Ubi-Thorlof June 18, 2025

      Die Governor’s Edition enthält entweder einen Key für Ubisoft Connect (PC) oder eine Disk (PlayStation 5).

  3. M Mayblitzzz June 14, 2025

    Will the Anno 117: Pax Romana – Governor’s Edition (PC) be activate on Steam or it will be UPlay only?

    •   Ubi-Thorlof June 18, 2025

      The key included in the PC Governor’s Edition is for Ubisoft Connect.

  4. L Lt.Vadokan June 13, 2025

    Where can i preorder the Governors edition in Canada?

  5. b biwesty June 11, 2025

    Damn is the governors edition already sold out? Will there be more?

  6. D Dyeablo June 11, 2025

    Will Anno 117 be available on GeForce Now on release? Can’t wait!

  7. M MO0NPIG June 11, 2025

    Im not sure if anyone else has said this, but I would love Anno on the switch 2 with mouse support! Love playing Anno 1800 on my PC, I have it on PS5 but don’t like playing with a controller so never play it.

  8. p pheeel1109 June 11, 2025

    Will the “Governors Edition” be available on Steam? I can only see the regular and the gold edition

    •   Ubi-Thorlof June 12, 2025

      Hey pheeel1109, the Governor Edition is a purely physical edition and is only sold at retailers, but not digital stores like Steam or the Ubisoft Store.

  9. C CoolFactsCarl June 11, 2025

    What happened to the Tribune edition? I live in the US and was hoping to buy that edition for PC

  10. W WingDog June 10, 2025

    It’s very sad that you abandoned the experience of the past and are releasing a game without Russian localization even text and subtitles.

    • A AmokHamann June 10, 2025

      when I look in the Ubisoft Store at Anno 117 and click on more under languages, then there is russian for interface and subtitles

  11. A Aguiadourada June 10, 2025

    Another game that Ubisoft ignores us, when will the devs at BlueByte and now this Mainz understand that Portuguese is not Spanish! They promised that the next game would have at least Portuguese subtitles! Where is the respect for your players Ubisoft? Please do portuguese subititles for us we love your games but 300R$ and nothing in portuguese!

    • A AmokHamann June 10, 2025

      when I look in the Ubisoft Store at Anno 117 and click on more under languages, then there is Portuguese – Brazil for interface and subtitles

      • A Aguiadourada June 10, 2025

        finally they did, which a few days ago did not have Portuguese in the description with all the languages

  12. m marcel_1223 June 10, 2025

    Amazing stuff guys!

    I am keen for the goverors edition, however I live in New Zealand. Is that an issue?

    Also, purchasing the governors edition comes with the game disks. Will there be an option to add this to my steam library etc? My PC does not currently have a disk drive

    • I Ixam97 June 10, 2025

      The Governor’s Edition only comes with a Disc for the Console Edition. For PC, you only have a digital download.

      As it has been usual for the past 15 years or so, physical discs for PC games are optional. You will have to register it in Ubisoft Connect with the game Key and then you can download it. By now, for most people Downloads will be faster than installing from multiple DVDs anyways if you have half decent internet. And you will have to install a day one patch anyways.

    Hello,

    Will the Governor’s Edition be made available in The Netherlands as well? At the moment it appears that the Governor’s Edition appears only in amazon UK and DE, but not NL.

    Thank you

  14. M MJP837 June 9, 2025

    Is the game going to be PS5 Pro Enhanced?

  15. t ti96mak June 9, 2025

    I will be very happy if the game has Ukrainian language

  16. e eviltox June 9, 2025
