ANNO 1800 DLC7 DOCKLANDS – LAUNCH TRAILER.
Anno 1800’s third season pass will grant access to three major updates, the first of which, Docklands, is out today. This introduces the ability to build modular warehouse districts, turning cities into global trade hubs.
Export contracts will enable players to specialize their economy and export certain goods, while a new NPC, Captain Tobias Morris, will serve as the link to companies around the world, providing assistance to fledging traders as they strive to become market leaders.
Docklands launch is accompanied by a free update for all players, adding improvements to the trade route menu, new open water buildings and quay streets, and a selection of cosmetic DLC ornaments, increase a city’s attractiveness.
Season Pass 3 (which costs £ 16.99) will also add a new tourism mechanic this spring, as part of the Tourist Season update, and cities of modular skyscrapers in The High Life this summer.
