Anno 2205: Tundra

The Tundra DLC for Anno 2205 was developed by Blue Byte and released on February 29, 2016. Published by Ubisoft, this expansion introduced a new sector to the game, the Vanha Plains, a vast and desolate tundra environment. Players could now explore and develop this icy landscape, adding a fresh layer of complexity to the game's city-building mechanics. The DLC was part of the game's Season Pass, which also included other expansions like Orbit and Frontiers.

In the Tundra sector, players encountered unique challenges and opportunities. The marshy terrain required players to employ new strategies to dry out the land before establishing settlements. Additionally, the expansion introduced two new population types: the Tundra Scientists and the Tundra Protectors. Meeting their needs involved managing five new production chains and ten new types of goods, further enriching the game's economic simulation. A new command aircraft was also added, enhancing the vehicle gameplay aspect of the game.

Reception to the Tundra DLC was generally positive, with many players praising the added depth and complexity it brought to the game. The introduction of new production chains and the unique challenges of the tundra environment were well-received. However, some players noted that the DLC's content was more accessible to players who had advanced to higher levels in the game. Overall, the expansion was considered a valuable addition to Anno 2205, enhancing its replayability and strategic depth.
