Silent release release of the long-suffering strategy The Settlers: New Allies

This week a very quiet release took place the release of the long-suffering strategy of The Settlers: New Allies.

No one has sent the keys to bloggers and journalists for a review, the OpenCritic rating aggregator has not even bothered to update the game page since 2020, and there is not a single rating on the Metacritic portal.

In addition, you will not be able to purchase a fairly niche project for a full $ 60 on Steam - welcome to the Epic Games Store and Ubisoft Store!

However, at the end of March, New Allies should be released on consoles, including the Nintendo Switch. Ubisoft Dusseldorf studio has been creating the project for 13 years.

Moreover, in the last couple of years, the game has been redone after an exceptionally negative audience reaction to the beta test.

Interesting data was also shared by German journalist Jochen Gebauer. His sources in the publishing house said that for the development of The Settlers: New Allies has spent more than $50 million.

For understanding, the total sales of the games in the series are only about 10 million copies.

What is happening looks very surreal, so it is possible that we have witnessed another "success" of Ubisoft and the demise of the once iconic and beloved series of games.
