Ubisoft Transforms The Settlers: Kingdoms of Anteria Into New Game

April 21, 2016 by Dennis Patrick

So long The Settlers: Kingdoms of Anteria hello Champions of Anteria.

In a bit of a surprising announcement made by Ubisoft, The Settlers: Kingdoms of Anteria has gone through a complete change and developers are transforming the game into Champions of Anteria. The decision of the game change came after going through feedback from fans, social media, preview articles, and forums after the closed beta of The Settlers: Kingdoms of Anteria.

In order to further explain their decision, the development team at Ubisoft Blue Byte explained through an open letter.

“Dear The Settlers fans,

Over the last few months, we received a lot of questions about The Settlers: Kingdoms of Anteria. Today, we have an important announcement to make.

When we ended the Closed Beta of The Settlers: Kingdoms of Anteria in January 2015 we received a lot of feedback, and we want to thank all those of you who shared these valuable insights with us. We took time to read through comments from different sources, such as social media, forums, emails, and preview articles. We also took time to reflect on our ambitions for the project and where we wanted to head with it.

After much discussion, we made the decision to steer this project in a new direction, meaning The Settlers: Kingdoms of Anteria as you know it no longer exists. However, we are excited to announce that we have been working hard to create a new game, a challenging real-time strategy experience that we are revealing to you today, Champions of Anteria. To be clear, the game isn’t part of The Settlers series, but a new adventure that will further explore the lands of Anteria.

Champions of Anteria is a tactical RTS with Active-Pause Mode in which you can fight with three of five Champions in diverse and challenging battles. Each Champion is aligned to a magical element, and players must strategically choose the powers they bring into a battle, as interactions between affinities constitute a very important part of the gameplay. Champions of Anteria features a completely new narrative and adventure for players to enjoy. With a renewed focus on story, the economic and logistic features are revised and are handled via a homebase management system where you can craft items for your Champions and unlock new abilities.

For those who are wondering about the classic The Settlers series, rest assured that The Settlers is alive and kicking!

We want to thank all of you who enjoy The Settlers games for your ongoing support. Making games is our passion, and we can’t wait to share Champions of Anteria with you when it launches on August 30.

For now, we know that Champions of Anteria is a single-player strategy game that focuses on the tactical side of things along with a strong narrative. You can get your hands on Champions of Anteria for PC this August 30, 2016.
