2/8/2024 0 Comments Champions of anteria xbox one![]() The game was originally titled The Settlers: Kingdoms of Anteria, under development to rejuvenate the long-running city-building Settlers franchise and give it a fresh spin. But that wasn't always going to be the case. Hopefully the games developer can go back to their roots and produce a new entry to the series that does it justice.Released last week, Champions of Anteria is one of Ubisoft's newest intellectual properties. As someone who is very unhappy with the direction that the Dawn of War franchise has gone, I would hate to see the Settlers go down that route, so I am happy that the Settlers 8 went the way it did. There is still hope for a future game in the Settlers franchise. The recent revival of Age of Empires 2 shows that there is still some interest in the genre. ![]() Whether that means we will et another game in the future, is unknown, but at least we know they haven’t canned it yet. So what does all this mean for the future of the series, will we ever get another Settlers game? Well according to a post on the Ubisoft blog , the franchise is still alive and kicking. Champions of Anteria is sort of like Dungeon Siege, so I can see why they felt it didn’t fit with the Settlers series and maybe this was why fans ended up not liking it. There is no specific detail as to why people hated it so much, but I guess we can be happy that they didn’t release it. Discussion from the beta forums is private and cannot be shared, but it got to the point that the fans of the series had attempted to create a petition to have the game cancelled. Ubisoft ran a closed beta and apparently it was met with a lot of unhappiness. So the big question here is, why was it not released as a Settlers game?Ĭhampions of Anteria was originally called The Settlers: Kingdoms of Anteria. It was still technically released, but it was rebranded and released as a game called Champions of Anteria. The most surprising thing I found was that the Settlers 8 was almost officially released. It is a free online game and this is about all you need to know in order to establish that it is going to be a micro transaction riddled piece of garbage that will ruin the fun of playing. ![]() In 2012 The Settlers online was released. This was the final “proper” game that was released in the series. Back in 2010 The Settlers 7 was released. I’m not sure if I have just been living under a rock or if there has just been very little coverage surrounding the Settlers franchise, but it seems that things are not quite as dormant as I had expected, but not in a good way. I quickly got my ass handed to me and never played online again, but I still look back fondly at that game and it’s expansion. It was also one of the first games where I got to experience online competitive multiplayer. My 15 year old eyes had never played a game as good. The city building element was so much more intricate that you could spend many hours playing a single level.īefore I started doing any research on the topic, my last memories were of playing Heritage Of The Kings. It added a level of thought and planning to the design of your settlements. The idea of needing a wood chopper AND a lumber mill in order to get usable timber was such a fun idea. I can honestly say that I preferred The Settlers to Age of Empires. The Settlers has not had the same level of luck, which is really unfortunate. However, the recent HD remake of the AOE II has sort of brought this game back to life. The Age Of Empires games were once the flagship for the genre, but this series has also gone quiet. Generally speaking the RTS series has taken a massive nose dive over the past 10 years. Who remembers spending hours upon hours playing a game from The Settlers series? I have such fond memories of playing those games, but it seems that the franchise has just vanished.
