93GB, limited-time only demo. No progression save will be carried over too.

The demo will be available from Sept. 2nd to September 16th and gives you access to the early game portion of Anno 117: Pax Romana, letting you experience the first two population tiers in both Latium and Albion in Sandbox Mode.

 

[Hudo]

That's pretty unexpected but nice. Well, let's see if you can actually civilize those fucking barbarians by force and not by being nice to them.

 

[bbeach123]

fck 'em Celtic barbarians , lets make Roman Empire great again .

 

[Branded]

90gigs for a demo?

This fuckin' generation is cooked lol.

 

[KyoZz]

The game is heavy as fuck, can't maintain 60fps with a 4090. A 5090 can't either (this is maxed out with ray tracing and DLAA).

But it's beautiful.

Branded it's pretty much the full game at 90gb. Some things are locked that's it.

 

[Aion002]

Nice! Just in time for me to try it out my new laptop capabilities, I hope the rtx 4050 can at least play it.

Would CPU play a huge role with a game like this?

At what resolution? 4K native?

Indeed, but this is while still not having set sail on the island (Albion side). So once our city start growing it's gonna be a mess.

At what resolution? 4K native?

Ultra wide, 3440x1440. DLAA is native.

Thanks for the heads up. Won't get any quality time in front of my PC until the weekend, but looking foreward to checking it out.

 

[diffusionx]

I'm looking forward to this coming out but I want to get it for some comfy couch gaming on PS5. I hope it's good.

 

[Reizo Ryuu]

90gb demo aka too lazy to make an actual demo so let's just put up the full game with restrictions

 

[SpokkX]

One question: Does it need Ubi account/launcher?

 

[pudel]

One question: Does it need Ubi account/launcher?

Unfortunately...yes. Ubi will never get rid of that shit. It would mean that they cannot just randomly switch off yr game.

 

[Aion002]

I played 59 minutes and it played great on my laptop (i7, 4050, 16gb) at medium settings on 1080p.


The game seems quite polished and I enjoyed the new mechanics.

I will definitely buy it.

 

[Thesnipergecko]

90gig for a 60 minute demo

 

[Kenpachii]

its 45gb at the ubisoft client. The game is really demanding tho, at 3440x1440 i see fps drop below the 60 fps on a 5080, gpu is always 100% used even with dlss performance.

 

[Kenpachii]

 

[PSFore]

Had a very hard time getting it to run at 4K 60 Hz but seems to be working now.

 

[Rentahamster]

This game is going to be great!

Would CPU play a huge role with a game like this?

It would.

 

[Hudo]

Roman Empire represent.

 

[genesisblock]

93GB?????

 

[Kenpachii]

Second city

 

[The Cockatrice]

Alright, played it for a bit. Yep, it's anno alright, however I see absolutely 0 reasons to buy it at launch considering how much content 1800 offers right now and how similar this is to it except it lacks in content. Even if you're a super die hard fan and you only play anno I'd still wait for more dlc before diving in. I loved all Anno games, but after 1800 and how ubisoft deals with extra content, I will be skipping day one and I will be buying it a year after or so. Nice visuals thanks to RTGI but without frame-gen, once you'll get to bigger cities it'll be hard to sustain its performance with high RTGI if you dont have a 4090/5090.

 

[SJRB]

Not a day goes by where I do not think of the glory of Rome.

 

[amigastar]

Whats the content on the demo? Is it a good slice of the full game?

 

[StereoVsn]

Hmm.. are there DLSS settings? Going to try at 4K on my 5080.

 

[vpance]

This is one the shitty things about Anno since 1800 is the performance you get for what you end up building in city size is pretty meh.

 

[Roman Empire]

Roman Empire represent.

This is Empire approved.

While I agree with you on the value, the appeal of this game is in the setting.

Yeah, optimization would be nice for these games since smooth scrolling and zooming would be much appreciated.

[Shubh_C63]

The game felt pretty cheerful with a SIMS kind of quality. Were all Annos have this lighthearted vibe. Didn't really felt at place.

All Annos have positive atmosphere. If you want to try one game Anno 1800 base game was like 5 euro on steam these days. Base game has enough content 30-40 hours.
If you want to try another one, i recommend Anno 1404.

93GB..

 

[calico]

One hour time limit sucks. Not only because being able to relax is part of the appeal, but it raises concerns about performance which the time limit may be an effort to hide.
