When you start a new game, the islands will be randomly placed together with the already existing New World islands. Therefore, some of the new islands you may only see if you start a new game.
The exact number of islands (5 to 7) depends on your chosen region size for your savegame. In existing savegames, these new islands will be placed in the expanded area in the north, giving you fresh building challenges to face. Plus, we’re also adding riverless variants of the existing islands to the overall map pool.

Season 4’s focus on the New World therefore meant a) to provide engaging new mechanics and b) simultaneously offer additional ways to increase efficiency and save space (e.g.
In Anno 1800, the New World itself also acted as a limiting factor to a certain degree, considering the goods that other regions, primarily the Old World, needed. Space management therefore also is a key challenge of the Anno games – even more so if you’re playing with opponents. While some of you have proven over the years, that one can squeeze many more people on those islands than we originally thought, eventually a ceiling is hit, and either space for residences or space for production runs out. There are only so many islands in a region and the islands have only so many tiles. While Anno games tend to give players relatively large freedoms to build as much and how they want, there are still a few limiting factors. In this second DevBlog for “New World Rising” we will take a closer look at what we only briefly mentioned before: The expansion of the New World region and the new islands that are getting added.
