Ubisoft has announced that ANNO Online has launched on Steam. Players of the acclaimed city-builder can add ANNO Online for free to their Steam library. Using a Steam account allows players to start the game directly from the desktop and chat with friends, all while raising glorious metropolises.


In addition to the Steam launch, a new update for Anno Online introduces new features to last year’s player versus environment battle system. Players can now upgrade their battle ships using the ship tech tree which unlocks powerful cannons, more resistant armor and more. New quests and challenges explore the rise of the pirate captains, the toughest enemies in ANNO Online so far.
