Ubisoft diffuse une nouvelle vidéo présentant dans les grandes lignes le contenu de la troisième saison de DLC qui viendra agrémenter plus encore le très sympathique Anno 1800.
La première extension, intitulée Port d’attache (Docklands en VO) arrivera ce 23 février, et proposera un quartier d’entrepôts modulaires ainsi que de nouvelles options pour le commerce. Viendra ensuite au printemps un DLC nommé Saison touristique (Tourist Season en VO), qui permettra par exemple d’attirer dans les hôtels et restaurants de vos villes des… touristes. Les monuments aidant le tourisme, on appréciera l’arrivée parmi ceux disponibles d’une tour Eiffel. La reforestation sera aussi ajouté via un patch.
Le troisième DLC s’appellera lui Vers les sommets (High Life en VO). Prévu dans le courant de l’été prochain, il autorisera la construction de gratte-ciels, et du plus grand monument du jeu, l’Empire tower.
A noter qu’un futur système de « Score » permettra de comparer ses villes avec celles des autres joueurs. Peut-être une option intéressante, dans certains cas.
Si vous achetez ce Season 3 pass, vous recevrez en bonus, trois modestes embellissements urbains, une ancre, un kiosque et un petit monument de style douteux. C’est probablement le point le plus décevant de cette annonce.
Parallèlement, le jeu vient aussi de passer en version 9.3 (voir ce changelog), gros patch qui corrige quelques bugs et détails divers.

Anno 1800 Introduces New DLC and Season 3 Pass
The Season 3 Pass will bring three new pieces of DLC to Anno 1800, which will be available as a bundle or for individual purchase. The first DLC, Docklands, arrives on February 23, and provides structures for creating a warehouse district (with a main building inspired by the “Speicherstadt” in Hamburg, Germany), along with new ways to trade by exporting rare goods.

Following Docklands is Tourist Season, which launches in spring 2021, and lets players entertain their visitors with activities and fill their virtual bellies at the best restaurants. But you’ll need to get your tourists to their destinations quickly and reliably by establishing a tour bus network within the city.
Finally, The High Life – coming summer 2021 – gives prospective city managers an opportunity to build skyscrapers and malls, and deliver new commercial goods. Additionally, if you already have an Anno 1800 Old World session going, you’ll be able to add monuments, hotels, restaurants, buildings, and malls to help your city progress.
Free content updates will also arrive as part of Season 3 to help improve the overall game experience.
Anno 1800 is currently available on PC via the Ubisoft Store and Epic Games. As of today, two Year 3 editions of Anno 1800 are available: The Complete Edition Year 3 includes the main game, Deluxe pack, and three season passes; and Gold Edition Year 3 includes the main game, Deluxe pack, and the Season 3 Pass.
