Dear players,

We're not even halfway through autumn, but our developers have already envisioned the first features of the Christmas Event 2017 - among those, a brand new specialist! 

Take part in our Sneak Peek mini-puzzle to find out who the new specialist is and test the first version of the Christmas event on our public test server!

Happy testing!

Dear Settlers,

Not only does the new game update bring various graphics and general adjustments, but the Halloween event will also be technically implemented in the game.

The new game version will be made available on 10.10.2017 and the Halloween event will be activated worldwide on October 17th! Read all about it in our latest Change Log.

Happy Settling!
