Ubisoft to make Anno 1404 History Edition free to download and keep forever
Anno Union and Ubisoft have decided to make Anno 1404 History Edition free to download for a short time as part of Ubisoft's 35th anniversary celebrations. Starting Monday, December 6, the game will be available from Uplay without paying a penny. The deal begins at 15:00 UTC on Monday and ends on December 14 at 14:00 UTC.
Currently, the game costs £12.49 on the Ubisoft Store, although it is cheaper in other markets. Anno 1404 debuted in June 2009 and received a Venice-based expansion in February 2010, which added multiplayer, among other features. Hence, the game has moderate system requirements by modern standards.
Specifically, your system needs 4 GB of RAM, and at least an AMD FX-4130 or Intel Core i3-3220 processor to run Anno 1404 History Edition. Additionally, you must have a GPU that matches the performance of a GeForce GTX 660 (2 GB) or a Radeon R7 265X (2 GB). A GeForce GTX 770 (4 GB), a Radeon RX 470 (4 GB) or better is recommended, though.
Ubisoft describes Anno 1404 History Edition as follows:
