Ubisoft has taken to the official site to reveal that The Settlers: New Allies is returning. The game will be launching on PC on February 17, 2023, and is also in development for Xbox, PlayStation, Nintendo Switch and Amazon Luna.
“Our development team has been hard at work on the latest The Settlers game, and to reflect the changes to the gameplay and the journey our players are going to experience, we have decided to also change the name of the game.”
In case you haven’t been following the franchise, The Settlers: New Allies is a strategy game with an in-depth build-up experience and real-time strategic battles. The developers have revealed that the game will offer three game modes to players:
- Single player campaign: As the Elari are forced to flee its homeland, they must settle on new and unknown territories. These new Settlers will have to face many challenges on their journey, from the raiding of ruthless bandits to the discovery of the new culture of these lands.
- Hardcore Mode: As players will be able to play new scenarios, a wide range of modifiers and conditions will make the AI an even more challenging opponent. Adaptability is key in this new mode that will put the best players to the test, alone or with friends.
- Skirmish: Players will be able to experience Solo vs. AI, co-op vs. AI or PvP featuring up to eight players on the 12 maps available at launch.
