A new city-building game called Prospera has been announced at the Future Games Show at Gamescom, and it looks like what something like Anno might look like in first-person.
In the 30-second trailer, from a first-person perspective, we see two chaps working together to cut down a tree. After that, we hear the whistle of steam machinery as we move towards the rest of the gang, who are further treating our wood for something grander. As we end, we see a city over the hills, which might place us in the golden era of steam power and urbanization.
Prospera is a city-building experience that you can play in either first- or third-person. If you'd like to play something Anno from the eyes of a common worker, then here's your chance – if you'd rather not, though, then the choice is yours.
The goal is to build your city from the ground up as you walk through its myriad districts to see what needs expanding. You'll also construct factories, automate production, and more to ensure your cosy settlement grows into the thriving metropolis it was made to be. To ensure it prospers, if you will.
Prospera has only just been announced, so we'll have to wait for that release date, but we do know it's coming to Steam and the Epic Games Store.
