In the humans of 2070 , you face a stark selection : pursue sustainable , environmentally favorable development , or be a entire industrialiast asswipe who deserves to be shot . At least , that ’s what we gleaned from Anno 2070 ’s sledgehammer - subtle new gameplay house trailer .

essentially , you face a choice between sustainability or “ mass consumption , ” with the latter leading to a gray bleak landscape painting . We have n’t encounter a guilt - trip-up this ferocious in year , and it ’s already got us hurry to sort our recycling .

Asour sister site Kotaku explained last week , Ubisoft ’s strategy series previously focused on European colonization in 1404 and 1701 , but now it ’s on the spur of the moment leap forward to the year 2070 . AsKotaku put it , “ It ’s a serious move away from European and colonial history – for sure one of the fundamental appeal of the serial – and towards sci - fi city management . ” Among other thing , your challenges include rising sea levels and modify landscape , make farming more difficult . But this new trailer makes the biz feel a bit like An Inconvenient Truth : The Video Game . Will anybody go for it ?
