UPDATE: The Settlers: New Allies is now available!

As announced, the PC version of the game has made its market debut. You can buy it from Ubisoft Store and Epic Games Store.

In a few hours we will see the debut of The Settlers: New Allies, the latest installment in Blue Byte’s popular strategy series.

  1. The game will be released today on PC only. Console versions are planned for Xbox One, PlayStation 4, and Nintendo Switch, but we’ll have to wait until March 23 for those.

  3. A Deluxe Edition is also available, which additionally offers a set of virtual items, a digital artbook, an album with selected tracks from the soundtrack and a 3-day bonus to collect fragments (an in-game resource).
  4. The game is also included in Ubisoft Plus.

The long march of the eighth opus towards its premiere

We have been waiting for a new installment of the series for a long time – the previous one, namely The Settlers 7: Paths to a Kingdom, was released in 2010. The next one was initially announced in 2018 and was scheduled for release. for fall 2019.

After that, however, the project suffered one delay after another. Eventually, he completely disappeared from the radar for a long time. Coming out of development hell, it turned out that the writers’ vision had undergone major changes.

The game the publisher forgot

The upcoming release is causing a lot of concerns among the fans of the brand. The impressions of the first version available a year ago were not good. On top of that, the game’s publisher, Ubisoft, hasn’t put much effort into advertising the game. In the past few months, the project’s marketing has been completely dropped. Just yesterday, the developers posted a new video as a launch trailer.

The publisher’s approach to The Settlers: New Allies is best illustrated by the status on the game’s official website, where the last article was posted in March last year.

We are concerned that such an action by Ubisoft is due to the poor quality of the game. The publisher may have decided that after so many years of work, they were tired of pumping resources into a doomed project. to failure and decided to release it regardless of its condition. We hope otherwise, but things are not looking good.
