UbiBlog announces the release of Anno 2205, celebrating the news with a new launch trailer. Here's word on the two editions they offer: "Available at retail and as a digital download, Anno 2205 comes in two editions, standard and Gold. The latter also includes access to two expansion packs, which will be released at a later date and include new technologies and two new regions, Tundra and Orbit. (The expansions will also be available separately, or as part of the Season Pass for owners of the standard edition.)." Here's more:

As a newly minted corporate officer, you’ll spend your time in Anno 2205 building high-tech cities, developing neighborhoods and growing the local industry while keeping tabs on the needs of your citizens. Before long, you’ll be able to build a space elevator and colonize the moon, then brave its unique challenges until you can share resources and technological advancements across your colonies, creating a sprawling, interconnected empire. You can also quickly switch between your settlements using Anno 2205’s session mode, letting you manage them all simultaneously.

Your push to the stars isn’t without conflict, however, and every so often you’ll be tasked with fending off hostiles in real-time naval battles, pitting your heavily armed fleet against enemy ships and installations. Along the way, you’ll also be able to take on optional tasks from business partners and friendly corporations, all of which give you more materials to upgrade and expand your settlements.
