Anno 2205 is a city-building and economic simulation game, with real-time strategy elements, developed by Blue Byte and published by Ubisoft.

[4] Eventually players are asked to develop and conduct research in arctic regions in order to find cost-efficient ways to launch rockets to the Moon and upon completion, players may colonize the Moon and build cities inside its craters.

The game also introduces a session mode, which allows player to control and manage their cities both on Earth and on the Moon at the same time.

The game chose not to include any online multiplayer feature because the developer hoped players could focus on their own cities, and have full control of them.

The game also introduced more features, as the studio wanted to add something fresh to the franchise with 2205, and the gameplay was made more streamlined.

[9] Anno 2205 was announced during Ubisoft's Electronic Entertainment Expo 2015 conference,[10] including its Season Pass.

[11][12] The closed beta was cancelled, and players who pre-ordered the game received an in-game bonus instead (a new command ship skin).

Wildwater Bay, a free expansion which introduces a new session, and a new sector project was included in update 1.3.

Update 1.6 included the Big Five Pack, which added the option for every corporation to join that stock market, which would enable additional gameplay features, and reintroduced disasters.

[14] On October 4, the Frontiers expansion was released, containing three new sectors: Madrigal Islands, Savik Province and the Greentide Archipelago.
