Dear Settlers,

Over the last few months, we've been hard at work further developing the Unity Version of The Settlers Online, along with providing the usual annual events. However, we know that a lot of this work can go unnoticed, and we'd like to share with you an update on our current progress, our near-future goals, as well as some improvements we'd like to implement down the line.

Please check out the full in-depth update over on our forums. Don't forget to leave your feedback and thank you for sticking with us throughout this process!

Your "The Settlers Online" Team

Dear Settlers,

It's time to celebrate this year's Anniversary Event with a fresh look at the newly published Dev Diary to find about the upcoming features: new quests, new buildings, new specialists, and more! Also back to the usual 2-week duration!

Sit down with some cake and read all about it in our Dev Diary!

Happy Anniversary!

Dear Settlers,

As you know, we are aware of the current situation and working hard on solutions. This includes not only issues with the live game, but also technical challenges that are more or less “behind-the-scenes” and invisible for you, but which solution is nonetheless very important to have a sustainable and successful future for The Settlers Online.

Many of you have repeatedly asked for a more in-depth communication of what we are working on and what you can expect for the next updates. We would like to meet that request with an update on many of the points the community has raised during the last days and weeks, over on our forums.
