Anno 2205 is a city builder in which you must save humanity. To do so, you’ll need to build prosperous cities with various structures, meet the needs of your citizens, and travel to the Moon to collect valuable resources.

Available on Steam since November 3, 2015, Anno 2205 is a city builder in which you must build a better future for humanity. Developed by Blue Byte and published by Ubisoft, it is currently available for $5.99. But be careful, because this offer ends on May 29, 2026, and after that date, its price will return to $39.99.

To create a better world, you'll need to build thriving cities with many buildings to meet your citizens’ needs. However, some resources essential to the development of your cities, such as helium-3, are no longer available on Earth, and you will have to go to the Moon to obtain them.

As a result, you’ll need to venture into space and establish lunar colonies. This will allow you to improve your cities and secure a better future for humanity. Nevertheless, your experience will vary depending on the regions you choose. Indeed, each environment has its own advantages and disadvantages.
