The city-building real-time strategy game Anno 1800 is the seventh game in the Anno franchise released in 2019. The game brings back the series to a historical setting but it takes place during the Industrial Revolution. While it has the city-building and ocean combat mechanics like in the previous games, it introduces new gameplay mechanics like tourism, blueprinting, and industrialization that affects the inhabitants of the island.
