release notes
We're very excited to announce that we'll release the official soundtrack to Ubisoft’s newest city-building simulation Anno 1800TM by award-winning composer collective Dynamedion on audiophile 180g black double vinyl on April 16th in time for the game's official release.
Dynamedion's orchestral soundtrack will come in a beautiful gatefold sleeve with original artwork by Karakter Design Studio. The vinyl includes three quality lithographs by Karakter, full coloured printed inner sleeves and a free download code for the digital soundtrack, featuring 25 additional tracks.
Today, we're excited to share the first song "Robber Baron Suite" with you:
The symphonic soundtrack was composed by an experienced team around Tilman Sillescu (Dynamedion), recorded by a 70-member-ensemble of the renowned Brandenburg State Orchestra in an old church in Frankfurt/Oder, conducted by Bernd Ruf, an experienced Jazz- and World Musician. Composer Tilman Sillescu is a musical director of the Anno series for more than 12 years and infused the soundtrack with central motifs of the game, such as industrialization and the beginning of mass production, labor movement or the economic development of South America.
Anno 1800TM is a city-building simulation developed by Blue Byte, a Ubisoft Studio (The Settlers®, Anno 2070®) and published by Ubisoft.
In Anno 1800, players will lead the Industrial Revolution! The path you choose will define your world: Are you an innovator or an exploiter? A conqueror or a liberator? How the world remembers your name is up to you.
Players will take charge of their own future as they navigate the rapidly evolving technological landscape and malicious political arena of the 19th century in their quest to build an empire that will reach from the smog-filled cities of Europe to the teeming jungles of South America.
Combining beloved features with innovative gameplay, Anno 1800 is the beginning of a new era for the Anno franchise as players leave their mark on a crucial moment in human history. Get the latest news, development insights and behind-the-scenes content on
