ANNO 2205 BLASTS OFF INTO SPACE After 5 Million Units Sold Worldwide, the PC Strategy City-Building Series Will Be Back on Stores on November 3Rd ANNO 2205 BLASTS OFF INTO SPACE After 5 million units sold worldwide, the PC strategy city-building series will be back on stores on November 3rd LOS ANGELES – June 15, 2015 – Today, at the Electronic Entertainment Expo (E3), Ubisoft® announced Anno® 2205, the sixth installment of the strategy city-building series. Anno 2205 is set in a futuristic world, and will allow players to leave earth venturing into outer space for the first time in the series. Currently in development at Blue Byte, an Ubisoft studio, the game will release worldwide on PC on November 3rd 2015. In Anno 2205 players will join mankind’s next step into the future, with the promise of building a better tomorrow by expanding into space. Players must develop rich metropolises on Earth that are capable of launching missions to the moon as they race to establish production colonies on the lunar surface. By mining the moon’s resources to send back down to Earth, Anno 2205 players will receive the benefits of technology advancements. The tools will help to expand their cities and transform them into thriving metropolises. The new Anno 2205 Engine paves the way for players to build cities on islands five times the size of those in previous Anno games. It also allows for a high level of graphical detail in the game, so players can immerse themselves in futuristic cities that come to life with flying cars, more than a million thriving citizens, churning factories, and grinding mines. The gameplay uses a revolutionary session mode that lets players control several sessions on Earth and on the moon simultaneously, and to connect multiple regions via different sessions. “We’re proud to take players beyond the realms of planet earth with the biggest Anno game ever,” said Benedikt Grindel, studio manager at Blue Byte. “The development team has been working hard to ensure we are integrating fresh and innovative new content, whilst remaining faithful to the roots of the Anno franchise.” Anno 2205 will be available in three versions: the Standard Edition which includes the full game experience, and the Anno 2205 Gold and Collector’s Editions, which extend the experience with additional content. Starting now, fans can pre-order any version of the game to gain guaranteed access to the closed beta phase ahead of launch. Additional details regarding the closed beta will be announced in the future.

Si partirà con delle breve esposizioni della loro storia, i pe- riodi di crescita più significativi e l’analisi dei titoli chiave del loro successo degli ultimi dieci anni dal 2011 al 2019; le so- cietà prese sono la EA Sports o Electronic Arts Inc., la Ubisoft Entertainment SA e la Nintendo Co. Ltd. Su ognuna di esse verrà analizzata, tramite la lettura dei loro documenti di bilancio, la loro evoluzione anche collegando a questi dati numerici le informazioni relativi all’immissione dei prodotti chiave nel mercato e le loro conseguenze nei pe- riodi successivi. Una volta esposte tutte le imprese, ci prodigheremo alla for- mulazione di ipotesi sul loro futuro. 3 DESCRIZIONE DEL MERCATO L’incredibile successo di questo mercato dell’intrattenimento è frutto di un continuo sviluppo tecnologico iniziato in America a partire dalla fine degli anni ’40 ma arrivando alla prima di- stribuzione globale di prodotti videoludici solo nel 1961. Fu tuttavia a metà degli anni ’60 (1966) che fu introdotto uno degli strumenti principali del successo videoludico nonché elemento chiave per molte imprese neo-entranti, l’introduzio- ne della prima console. Dall’introduzione di quel primo modello, molte altre imprese hanno tentato di ottenere il controllo del mercato delle console e a oggi solo tre imprese detengono il controllo: la Sony, con la PlayStation; la Microsoft con l’XboX e infine la Nintendo con i suoi GameBoy, Wii e più recentemente Nintendo Switch (tra l’altro la EA e Ubisoft distribuiscono i loro prodotti console pro- prio su PlayStation e XboX e Switch).
