ANNO: Create a New World gives players the opportunity to discover new civilizations and build their own empire. Intuitive controls using the Wii Remote and Nintendo DS™ stylus create a unique gameplay experience.
Developed by Keen Games, ANNO: Create a New World is set in the year 1404.
King George’s land is suffering from poverty and famine.
Concerned about his subjects, the king decides to send out his two sons, William and Edward, to open up new territories. He hopes this will enable them to produce new goods and commodities for the benefit of his people. Unlike Edward, who prefers to fight to obtain valuable resources, his brother William advocates a peaceful solution. He proposes settling a new, uninhabited
land south of the kingdom. With his father’s approval, William travels south, where he encounters a mysterious Oriental culture.
