Ubisoft has revealed that its build-up real-time strategy game The Settlers: New Allies is in development for Nintendo Switch.
Ubisoft Düsseldorf has looked to deliver a “fresh take” on The Settlers series, which has been built from the ground up using the Snowdrop Engine.
After settling in a new land, you will have the chance to build your community, meet new factions and choose to welcome them as allies or enemies in an effort to protect and defend your settlement.
The game will have three modes that the publisher has outlined as below:
- Single-player campaign: As the Elari are forced to flee their homeland, they must settle on new and unknown territories. These new Settlers will have to face many challenges on their journey, from the raiding of ruthless bandits to the discovery of the new culture of these lands.
- Hardcore Mode: As players will be able to play new scenarios, a wide range of modifiers and conditions will make the AI an even more challenging opponent. Adaptability is key in this new mode that will put the best players to the test, alone or with friends.
- Skirmish: Players will be able to experience Solo vs. AI, co-op vs. AI or PvP featuring up to eight players on the 12 maps available at launch.
The Settlers: New Allies will release at retail and digitally on the Nintendo eShop for Nintendo Switch, with a release date to be confirmed.
