Anno 117: Pax Romana’s Dawn of the Delta expansion is out now on PS5, Xbox Series X|S and PC. Released on November 5, the third expansion in the game’s first year adds Aegyptus, a province built around the Nile’s river delta.

Players can bring the region into an existing save or choose it as the starting province for a new game. Its settlement areas combine drylands, farmland and floodplains, creating different choices about where to build cities, grow crops and invest in irrigation.

Seasonal flooding affects the province’s economy, while new production chains, deities, technologies and river-focused ships expand its development options. Players also choose between supporting local Aegyptian traditions and pursuing Graeco-Roman culture, with consequences for their population and settlements.

The expansion launches alongside update 3.0. Ubisoft is also running a free weekend for the base game through November 9 on PlayStation, Xbox and Ubisoft Connect. That trial supports multiplayer and co-op, and progress carries over after purchase; Dawn of the Delta itself is not included in the free weekend.
