Ubisoft announce the fifth title in The Settlers series, marking the first appearance on the consoles.
Ubisoft today announced the development of Settlers for the PC, Playstation2, GameCube and Xbox, marking the first console appearance for the series.
Settlers is the fifth instalment in the series, currently in development at German outfit, Blue Byte Software.
"This new game from the cult series will undoubtedly widen The Settlersâ audience,â says Odile Limpach, Managing Director of UbiSoft Entertainment GmbH and the Ubi Soft studio Blue Byte. âOur production team is currently focusing on innovative 3D-technology and absolutely new game featuresâ.
Benedikt Grindel, the project manager, is already working with a team of 25 people, which is set to grow as the game progresses towards production. Most of the projectâs artists bring their experience from working on the Settlers IV games.
Additionally, the development team will mainly concentrate on new strategic elements of the game, using Rubens and Vulcain engines for the animation and display systems. That means the main goal of the Ubi team is to create a truly evolved game, in order to establish the Settlers brand globally by developing a world-class strategy game. To illustrate, conflict between the tribes are carried out in a totally original way. This 3D-technology is merely used as another tool to bring radical changes, which will create a truly innovative leap inside the Settlersâ gameplay.
