ANNO players wanted a campaign in ANNO, so the focus of the AddOn lies in the campaign.

The campaign relates, over 11 thrilling missions, the story of a hero; the role assumed by the player. As this hero, the player sets out to join an old friend in a very mysterious, but extremely attractive affair. During his journey, the player has numerous adventures and meets old friends and makes new ones. The story features some unforeseen twists and turns, intrigues and power struggles. The classic ANNO elements of Discovery, Construction, Trade, Diplomacy and Military are mirrored in the individual missions, which are constantly setting the player new challenges. The 11 missions are packed with countless side-quests that present seasoned players with an even greater challenge!

The four new characters essentially carry the story and have been developed as meticulously as the previous ANNO 1701 computer player profiles. Yet there isn't a peace-loving individual behind every new face, and this makes the stories always exciting and full of surprises.
