You can play Anno 1800 for free this week

It's a bit too early to talk about the new free game on Epic Games Store this week. But there are more options if you want to enjoy a good game without paying a dime, even if it is on the platform from the creators of Fortnite. Ubisoft is currently celebrating the launch of the new expansion for Anno 1800, The High Life. The popular city-building strategy game is already in its third season. Plenty of additional content has been introduced via DLC, including sunken treasures, new buildings, amusement parks, farming lands, and more. 

The High Life introduces a new type of building in Anno 1800. Skyscrapers will allow players to expand their cities vertically for the first time. This will significantly impact the development of the cities because it will increase the population with reduced maintenance costs, providing that you can manage the properties correctly. Of course, the expansion also includes plenty of new decorations and building options, so you can let your creativity loose on that department. A free update also accompanies the launch of The Hight Life that enhances several management aspects of Anno 1800, making the game a bit easier to handle for new players.

Of course, the best way to have access to all that content is to purchase the yearly Season Pass, and the High Life is included in Anno 1800 Season Pass Year 3. It also comes with Docklands and Tourist Season, which focus respectively on enhancing the commercial activities of the dock district and boosting the tourism in your cities. But before you consider purchasing Anno 1800 by visiting our comparator and finding it at the best price, we encourage you to give it a try for free during the following week. Anno 1800 is available on Epic Games Store and Ubisoft Connect until September 6.
