Anno 117: Pax Romana – Rebuilding the Glory of Rome in 2025

After more than five years of silence, Ubisoft brings back its iconic strategy series with Anno 117: Pax Romana. This is not just a new chapter. It is a full rebirth, taking players to the golden age of ancient Rome.
“Pax Romana” means “Roman Peace.” However, true peace was never easy. It was built through power, pressure, and tough decisions. As a result, Anno 117 lets you feel the real weight of ruling an empire.
STEP INTO THE ROLE OF A ROMAN GOVERNOR
Unlike Anno 1800, which focused on the industrial era, Anno 117 takes you almost 2,000 years back in time. Here, you become a Roman governor who must lead, build, and balance everything in a large province.
Instead of factories, you will see:
- bright marble plazas,
- large temples,
- peaceful farms,
- and cities shaped by culture and tradition.
Your choices matter. For example, raising taxes, calming rebels, or forming alliances will all change how your people live. In addition, every action builds your legacy as a leader.
You are not only playing a game — you are guiding a civilization.
ROME BROUGHT TO LIFE WITH STUNNING DETAIL
The Snowdrop Engine makes ancient Rome look rich and alive. Moreover, every scene feels like a movie:
- sunlight shining on red rooftops,
- smoke rising from busy markets,
- and distant echoes coming from the Colosseum.
The soundtrack also blends classical music with ancient Middle Eastern tones. Therefore, the world feels warm, magical, and full of history.
It truly feels like stepping into the past.
POWER, CHOICES, AND CONSEQUENCES
One of the strongest features of Anno 117 is its deep political and religious system. You can rule as a fair and gentle governor, or you can rule with strict control.
Each choice affects your economy, your people’s trust, and your cultural growth.
Moreover, decisions have long-term results. For instance, a small change today may lead to a major problem — or a major victory — later.
This makes Anno 117 more than entertainment.
It becomes a story about leadership and responsibility.
A NEW MILESTONE FOR CITY-BUILDING GAMES
Anno 117: Pax Romana is not only the return of a classic.
It is a major step forward for the city-building genre.
Ubisoft does not simply rebuild Rome. Instead, they invite you to live in it and shape its future with every choice you make.
With:
- engaging strategic systems,
- beautiful visuals,
- and easy-to-follow storytelling,
Anno 117 is ready to become one of the standout strategy games of 2025.
Overall, every building, every decision, and every moment becomes part of your empire’s story.
This is the rise of your Rome.
