Publisher Ubisoft has shared a detailed 2026 roadmap for acclaimed city builder Anno 117: Pax Romana, giving us a better look at the content it will receive throughout the year alongside release dates and windows for each content drop.
Overall, we can expect three pieces of gameplay DLC, also available as part of the game’s Year 1 Pass, three pieces of cosmetic DLC that offer additional options for making our settlements even more beautiful, alongside a host of free updates available to all owners of the base game.
Anno 117: Pax Romana 2026 Roadmap
Here is an overview of the content that makes up Anno 117: Pax Romana’s 2026 roadmap alongside their respective release dates and windows:
- Marvellous Mosaics – February 19, 2026 (Cosmetic DLC)
- Prophecies of Ash – April 30, 2026 (Gameplay DLC)
- Blooming Cities – June 2026 (Cosmetic DLC)
- The Hippodrome – August 2026 (Gameplay DLC)
- Cosmetic DLC 3 – September 2026
- Dawn of the Delta – November 2026 (Gameplay DLC)
Things kicked off early in the year, with February’s Marvellous Mosaics Cosmetic DLC, which added “over 30 intricate tiled ground designs and elegant walls and arches,” alongside new skins for the Bathhouse and Forum buildings.
Prohpecies of Ash, the first gameplay DLC on Anno 117’s 2026 roadmap, released on April 30, introducing the region of Latium, which boasts the “largest island in Anno history,” home to a natural volcano that’s bound to have a word to say in how we build our cities. We can also worship a new god, Vulcan, and gather a new resource, obsidian.
June’s Blooming Cities DLC focuses on “a modular garden system, lush ornaments and the grandest cosmetic ornament,” while The Hippodrome brings chariot races, new specialists, alongside the “the grandest monument in Anno’s history, inspired by the famous Circus Maximus.”
Anno 117’s 2026 roadmap concludes with a third cosmetic DLC and its most sizeable gameplay DLC, Dawn of the Delta.
The latter takes us to a new, Egypt-inspired province where we’ll tame “vast deserts and a fertile river delta” while governing over new population tiers, each with its own distinct needs and beliefs.
We’ll also get to “balance Roman ambition with Egyptian tradition and expand [our] influence by worshipping new deities, commanding new military units, and more.”
The gameplay DLC part of Anno 117: Pax Romana’s 2026 roadmap can be purchased individually or as part of its Year 1 Pass. The cosmetic DLC will likely only be available separately, at least for now.
We can expect free updates to accompany these content drops, promising more Hall of Fame content for all players, diplomacy and AI behavior improvements, UI enhancements, a mod browser and manager, alongside other changes.
Although DLC release dates can change as development progresses, Anno 117’s 2026 roadmap looks promising enough to warrant regularly returning to the city builder, which was already quite good at launch.
