Ubisoft’s reboot of The Settlers is finally launching in February 2023

Back in 2018, Ubisoft announced plans to bring back ‘The Settlers’ with a new, modern-day version of the RTS. Initially, we were expecting to see it release in 2019, but it was pushed back to 2020. Then, in 2020, the game was delayed until 2022 and sure enough, earlier this year, it was delayed again. Now, Ubisoft seems to be aiming for an early 2023 launch. 

The Settlers is in development at Ubisoft studio, Blue Byte. Over the course of development, the studio has been receiving feedback from players and undergoing private playtests. Following previous delays, The Settlers reboot was due to launch in March this year, but due to closed beta feedback, the game was delayed again. Now, Ubisoft has announced plans to release the game under the name ‘The Settlers: New Allies' on the 17th of February.

That February release date only applies to the PC version of the game. Ubisoft is also working on console ports for Xbox, PlayStation and Switch. The publisher also has plans to ship the game on Amazon's Luna cloud gaming service.

The game will feature a full single-player campaign, a hardcore mode and a skirmish mode that can be played solo or in co-op against AI, or in PvP mode. Ubisoft will reveal more gameplay during a stream on the 1st of December at 4PM CET.

KitGuru Says: The Settlers has seen its fair share of delays over the last few years, but hopefully this release date finally sticks.

KitGuru Games: Predicting the Next Half a Decade of Call of Duty Releases

Benjamin Franklin (1706-1790) famously once said: “The three absolutes in life are death, taxes and a new Call of Duty coming out every single year”. Sure enough, the US founding father has yet to be proven wrong, with Activision and a dozen studios having ensured that come the tail-end of any given year, there will be a new COD ready to release. And so, what can we expect from the franchise later this year? What about 2027, 2028 or even 2030? By looking back at the past two decades of Call of Duty games, their trends, progression and regression, I believe I can predict the next 5 years worth of annual COD entries.
