I can't imagine that is *not* how it works. I imagine moon colonies will be similar to underwater ones in 2070, maybe with slightly more expanded construction options. The trade ships headed towards earth in the trailer pretty much tell you all you need to know anyway, they will exist side by side for sure.

I guess I'll have to buy a another Ubi game, bleh.
And for 6 bucks (Euroland) on Steam you can't really go wrong.
YES!YES!YES! That will show all those nay sayers who doubted me when I said the next Anno will be in space, everyone was saying Anno is dead and Ubi will just make an online F2P pos Anno.
Loved Anno 2070 and it's eco theme ( I think it was partly inspired by the Venus project and Jacque Fresco architecture).

I guess, what I loved about 1404 is that you could either decide to grow your western settlement and make your eastern settlement the providing settlement, or you could make a really advanced eastern one and supply it with your western. I hope that they will include an option like that where you can expand heavily and make your moonbase your dominant one.
Also they would have to make you play with two maps, probably?

Of course it has a season pass, why did I think it wouldn't have. Still glad that the series isn't dead or in f2p hell.
Didn't they remove the TAGES a long time ago? Pretty sure they did, must've reinstalled the game over 10 times without issues and I think they made an announcement out of removing TAGES.
Really looking forward to this release, it looks great. Us PC strategy fans seem to be getting spoiled in the last couple of years. I love it!
I might be wrong but I don't think Anno 2070 had tages, I think it was just 1404 and it was removed from what I remember.

so much this. Fuck the future setting
Odd, the steam store page still lists Tages - 3 machine activation limit on it and enhanced steam says "Warning: This title uses 3rd party DRM (Ubisoft Uplay, Tages)", but maybe it isn't active? I haven't tried installing it so I don't really know...
If it really is gone, they should definitely remove that from the store page.
I did some sleuthing and Ubi did remove it from 1404 when they re-released it on Steam last year, but it looks like 2070 still has it which is a shame. Just read a steam thread on it and the last post from March of this year says they hit their machine activation limit:

Was 2070 good?
Looks awesome. I'm actually looking forward to multiple Ubisoft games this year. Weird.
Beyond Earth was terrible though.

Utterly phenomenal.
YES YES YES! I am soo fucking excited! For months I keep searching for any news on Anno, going through foreign language sites trying to find anything new on this series aside from mobile shit.
And best of all, this new one doesn't have that ugly fucking foggy filter effect ruining the game's visuals like in 2070. It has a clean look like 1404. I am absolutely excited for this and this is by far my biggest and greatest surprise at E3 by a loong shot!
FUCKING AWESOME!!

Fuck yeah. First Dishonored II now Anno 2205, my two favorite games of of last couple years getting sequels.
Anno 2070 was absolutely brilliant. Really happy they're pushing fotward into future instead of going back. 2070 introduced so much new gameplay depth and I don't think it could have been retained without SF setting.

YES! After this crazy E3 day this is still the best announcement for me.
Never expected this to show up at the presentation.
I loove the art direction. Anno 2070 looked so brown and bleak.
I'm down for this. And many more people should be excited too. Anno is the best city builder out there. So utterly relaxing to sit back and watch your empire grow. Hope my laptop runs this.

The shipping freighters, downtown flying car traffic, and the mining installations looked awesome.
Looks good. I never played 2070, but I did enjoy the historical ones.
I take it you like Anno

This is my personal "last guardian".
I thought the anno games were dead

Maybe a little, okay a lot. Okay, I just paid 70 euros to pre-order it.
Maybe you should've played the Ecos once in a while
Nothing brown or bleak there!
I did play the ecos a lot!
I still thought the buildings looked like something out of Gears of War.. 2205 however looks clean and sharp. I like that art direction a lot better.
Kinda this, but the trailer was neat and I trust them after making so many good Anno games (I didn't dislike 2070, just preferred older settings). So this is an announcement that makes me real happy, very unexpected.

The game looked great. Between this and South Park, Ubisoft hit it out of the park for me.
Hyped. Game of E3 for me. I too was worried ubiBB was stuck doing mobile games but this has restored a lot of my faith in Ubicorp, enough so to commit a few gaming sins and preorder the collectors edition ($120 AUD) from the hype trailer call to action. Will be good to try out a steam controller and link to my lounge TV, Armchair Anno is real people, it truly is the future.
