“Rumors spread among your crew about a hermit living on an isle of wonders, a shabby-looking scavenger and inventor who prefers the company of his own automatons,” Ubisoft say to introduce the brand new Anno 1800 mini-expansion. “But don’t let the cock-and-bull stories of your crew fool you; Old Nate may just be a genius— a genius who is willing to share his ground-breaking inventions with all comers, so long as the price is right…”
And yeah yeah the DLC sounds neat with sunken treasure to dive for and all that, however first I need to know: is that this our Nate, our shabby-looking eccentric who retains pet crabs and speaks cryptically about experiencing an “old-timey diving suit mishap”?
Sunken Treasures is the DLC’s identify, and discovering ’em is its game. The DLC kicks off on a brand new storyline to seek out the lacking queen, and that ultimately leads us searching for watery glories, which requires the assistance of Old Nate. I can solely assume his conversational gambit with Her Majesty is to tell her about his “Bird Hole”.
Diving isn’t simply restricted to that new story, thoughts, with its bells and booty turning into half and parcel of colonising the brand new world.
The enlargement additionally brings a honking nice new island kind stated to be “three times as large as the biggest islands of the main game” for the retro megacity of your colonial desires. Along with that, count on hauls of latest looted artefacts and animals for museums and zoos, new gadgets, and different newness detailed in Ubi’s blog post about Sunken Treasure.
They don’t say it’s our Nate however the character’s acquainted sufficient that he appears bewildered by the entire thing. And he had loads of reward for the colonial build-o-trader in his Anno 1800 review even earlier than he knew he was in it.
Sunken Treasure is out now as the primary a part of the game’s Season Pass, which is able to later cowl DLCs including botanical gardens and an Arctic expedition.
You can get the Pass for £21/€25/$25 on the Epic Games Store and Steam. While Ubi solely promote the game on Epic proper now, gamers who pre-ordered on Steam earlier than the change can get the DLC there. The Steam launch must be up by 5pm immediately. Ubi have stated they’ll promote the DLCs individually in addition to within the cross, however I don’t see this up but both.
