Anno 117: Pax Romana’s Year 1 Pass aims to expand Ubisoft’s freshly-released city builder with a slate of new content throughout the coming year. Capitalizing on the game’s launch, the publisher has now shared the release windows for its three pieces of DLC.
Anno 117: Pax Romana Year 1 Pass roadmap kicks off in April 2026 with the Prophecies of Ash DLC, which sees the region of Latium growing thanks to the addition of “the largest island in Anno history, where a natural volcanic disaster will challenge the way you govern.” Coming alongside it is a new deity, Vulcan, who allows us to “use reshaped lands to your advantage and build anew.”

August 2026 brings owners of Anno 117’s Year 1 Pass a new DLC in the shape of The Hippodrome, which introduces “the grandest monument in Anno’s history, inspired by the famous Circus Maximus.” Aside from the chariot races within, it also introduces new specialists.
The final piece of the puzzle is Dawn of the Delta, which releases in November 2026. It adds “a brand-new province featuring vast deserts and a fertile river delta,” that also comes with its own population tiers which have unique needs and beliefs.
We’ll also need to “balance Roman ambition with Egyptian tradition” while choosing new gods to worship and recruiting fresh military units.
