Community
The community - you - have always been not only one of the pillars for the success of the Anno games but also a source of inspiration and motivation for us here at Ubisoft Mainz. The Anno Union stands as a sign of the importance of our community for our projects. Reason enough, to dedicate a page on it to you, both as a resource as well as a thank you.
On this page, you’ll find links to all our official channels as well as download links for official wallpapers and artworks. Most importantly, though, this is the place where we feature and link to awesome community-created content like websites, community platforms where you can meet and talk to other Annoholics, and useful tools like calculators and layout designers.
*Please be aware that visiting any non-Ubisoft websites linked here happens at your own risk. We do not take responsibility for any content posted on these websites or platforms.
