After multiple delays, Ubisoft Düsseldorf is finally ready to launch their settlement management real-time strategy game The Settlers: New Allies. It’s coming to PC tomorrow, February 17th via the Epic Games Store and Ubisoft Store, and it will also be included with the Ubisoft+ subscription service. In addition to PC, the game is also coming to PlayStation, Xbox, Nintendo Switch, and Amazon Luna on March 23rd – marking the first time that The Settlers series will be available on home consoles.
New Allies is a fresh take on the 30-year-old franchise, combining settlement and economic management with tactical real-time battles. You’ll begin with a small group of settlers and must grow your settlement by exploring, gathering resources, and developing better technology, with the ultimate goal of expanding your army and defeating your rivals.
Three game modes will be available at launch: a story-driven campaign, a multiplayer mode offering skirmishes against up to eight players controlled by the AI or other humans, as well as a hardcore mode which will test your skills under a variety of modifiers and end-game conditions.
Pre-orders are available now on the PlayStation and Xbox storefronts, with Nintendo eShop pre-orders opening on March 15th. Check out a brand-new launch trailer below:
