An upcoming art tome from Dark Horse will explore the visual world of Ubisoft’s strategy game, Anno 117: Pax Romana.
For the glory of Rome
The Empire is at its peak, and players take the role of governors in command of their own corner of the Roman world, in Anno 117: Pax Romana. The upcoming strategy/sim from Ubisoft will allow them to rule how they see fit, managing all aspects of a Roman city in what looks to be a gorgeous vision of one of the most successful empires in Earth’s history.
Playing right off of that as well, will be publisher Dark Horse, who’ll have a new art book out and ready for fans to grab, the month after the game lands. Presented in hardcover format and clocking in at 232 pages, The Art of Anno 117: Pax Romana will include commentary of the creative team and “never-before-seen concept imagery”, according to Dark Horse.
In Ubisoft’s Anno 117: Pax Romana, players take on the role of a Roman Governor in the year 117 AD—the height of the Roman Empire! Ever expanding into uncharted provinces, they will encounter an array of characters, quests, and resources all with the goal of achieving glory for their Empire.
Discover the creative journey behind this latest entry in the beloved builder series, brought to life through vibrant, painterly artwork and thoughtfully designed pages.

Each page captures the evolution of our vision and the dedication, ambition and love behind it.” – Reiko Groß, Art Director
