Next Settlers Game in Development!!!!!! |
Today I have some very exciting news! The next game in the
Settlers series is currently in development and is set for
a worldwide release on PC and consoles!!!!!
Here is an extract from the press release:
"This new game from the cult series will undoubtedly
widen The Settlers' audience" says Odile Limpach, Managing
Director of Ubi Soft Entertainment GmbH and the Ubi Soft studio
Blue Byte. "Our production team is currently focusing
on innovative 3D-technology and absolutely new game features".
As a result, the development team mainly concentrated on new
strategic elements of the game. Conflicts between the tribes
are carried out in a totally original way. The 3D-technology
is merely used as another tool to bring radical changes, which
will create a truly innovative leap inside the Settlers' gameplay
Below is a concept art image of a bakery. Click on it for
a larger image.
I will be bringing you more development news including screenshots
as soon as I get them. You can discuss this news in the forum
