Ubisoft Is Rebooting A Classic RTS Series On Nintendo Switch In 2023

Huh... I'll be keeping an eye on this.

Intrigued and Intriguing.

I used to play Age of Empires and Mythology, I wonder if this plays similarly because so far looks really good to have in the Switch. I'll keep an eye on this one, looks very interesting.

would be nice if can local wireless ,RTS game on switch is rare

PC games give me a special kind of nostalgic vibe l. this game has it ☺️

I've never played a settlers game before, but I'll keep an eye on this one. 👍 thanks!

When I tell you I had a misspent youth playing RTS games like the Settlers III and Populous it is no exaggeration, I am both overjoyed and terrified by this announcement. Ho boy am I ready for the RTS revival!

RTS and car combat games you hardly ever see anymore.I’ve never heard of this one,

@TYRANACLES that shocks me, the Settlers was huge in the 90s! RTS (and turn based) strategy games were a big deal back then, Populous, Age of Empires, Civ, and the Settlers all made a splash though I must admit being a teenager at the time and into the genre I may be showing some confirmation bias here haha

Spent wayyyy too many hours playing the original on my A500 mini this year.

I loved this, back in the day. Used to play the original on my Amiga A600. It’s such a charming game, with lovely animations. As an RTS, though, Dune 2 this was not. The original felt like more of a city builder combined with a clicker, as the “combat” element was pretty weak.

@NinjaNicky Street Racer! That was fun, didn’t know it was Ubisoft

@NinjaNicky I played it on the SEGA MegaDrive! Great memories, myself and three friends playing it

The video does make me nostalgic. I used to enjoy the sound of the slowly growing bustle in my encampment. And then to see the picture evolve of your new building.
Can't imagine it as a switch game though, for me this is tied to pc gaming.

Ah The Settlers, what a classic, but later entries ruined it slightly.

Now if we can get someone to reboot Syndicate, Magic Carpet or Dungeon Keeper

Those games were great in the 90s to early 2000. The Settlers III, The Nations II, Cultures 1 and 2, and Anno 1503 were my favourites. I loved playing PC at that time.

Okay this looks pretty awesome. Not the perfect builder game I want, but this looks like a pretty good alternative to what I am looking for. Keeping an eye on this one for sure!

We could do with more RTS even if it's a remaster. Monitoring this one I think

@Otoemetry probably because I didnt do pc gaming I didn’t play command and conquer or StarCraft until I had them on the PlayStation and n64. I had heard of the age of empires games since I had a friend that would play those religiously.

@TYRANACLES no judgment, just surprised is all. Guess I was quite lucky to be able to play games on the family home computer since it was certainly no technical marvel, though I can't say these game were particularly demanding either haha

Settler II Gold Edition! Don't know how many hours/years I spend in this game! Glad to see that the original Studio, Blue Byte, still exists inside Ubisoft! I'm sure this project is in good hands!

Happy to see BlueByte (UbiDüsseldorf's real name(!)) finally gets to release a new instalment!
Volker Wertich, the series' original creator, even appears to have been involved this time. :v

The story goes that Ubisoft has been cancelling sequels and reboots left and right ever since 2010, where The Settlers 7 and the browser game released.
I know a couple of people that quit their otherwise nice jobs at BlueByte some years back, supposedly because they only got to make things that got thrown in the trash. :s

Bring back Rayman!!!!!! A third 2D game that continues onto Rayman Origins and Legends, a new 3D game or a collection of the first 3 games like they done with Spyro and Crash Badicoot would be amazing.

Cool to hear. I am excite

@AndyRogan Huh. Wait so is this the reboot of the series that they f***ed up or is this already a new entry after that one? I heard the reboot was so massively mainstreamed that it just wasn't "The Settlers" anymore. Which is even sadder, considering that they nailed it with Anno 1800.

Even funnier, i think The Settlers and Anno used to be developed by the same people, back in the days when they first came about. So it's kinda sad that these RTS-siblings don't get the same love. Personally i gotta say though, Anno is my jam, i love the games incredibly much and having those on Switch would be insane.

I just hope the poor old switch will be able to keep up when the game gets busy.

@StefanN Hopefully it's a reboot based on the originals. They made 7 in total and every one of them after 3 was trash

@AndyRogan No what i mean is there IS a reboot. The newest release is. But people said it's bad and i thought maybe you know more about this and whether this trailer is showing a sequel to that reboot or not 😅. Oh well, let's wait and see and hope that it's gonna turn out better!

Loved the first game, used to play 2 player on my mate’s Amiga (I think it was with 2 monitors unless I’m misremembering. I can even remember the medieval music that accompanied it. Think I played the second game on pc too but didn’t quite hit the same notes for me.

I’m always happy to see RTS games.

Was excited when I saw they are rebooting one of my favorited PC franchises, but after looking at that video, this seem so far from the actual Settlers concept. Hard pass.
