Publisher Ubisoft and developer Ubisoft Dusseldorf have announced The Settlers reboot release date is set for March 2022, after multiple delays.
The Settlers reboot release date is set for March 17th, 2022 on Windows PC via the Ubisoft Store and the Epic Games Store. The game will also be available via Uplay+, Ubisoft’s subscription service.
A closed beta for The Settlers is set for January 20th to the 24th, and you can sign up for it over on the game’s official site. Players can expect the beta to include the main tutorial and two skirmish missions.
Ubisoft also detailed The Settlers reboot a bit more over on the game’s dev blog, noting it has three factions: the Elari, the Maru and the Jorn, and is meant to take the best of both The Settlers 3 and The Settlers 4 (considered by fans to be the best games in the series). There will be different units, buildings, tech, and missions for each of the factions, so each can suit different playstyles.
Here’s a rundown on the game:
Forced to leave their homelands after a devastating earthquake of mysterious origins, the Settlers set sail towards the unknown in the hopes of finding a new home.
Not only will they face countless new challenges: they will also become part of an ancient mystery that will change their lives forever!
