Ubisoft slash dev Blue Byte decided to cancel the Anno 2205 pre-order beta. Instead the people who purchased the pre-order will receive an exclusive vehicle and social emblem when the game is released November 3rd. 



In a post on the German Ubisoft forums, the publisher announced the cancellation of the closed beta, access to which was included with pre-orders made over the last few weeks. No explanation was given for the cancellation, but the planned November 3 release date has not been altered at this stage, Ubisoft said.

Dear Anno players and fans,

As you may know, Anno 2205 will be playable for the first time by fans at Gamescom next week. We are indeed very excited to put the game in the players’ hands and we will look forward to receiving feedback at this occasion. However, we won’t be able to hold the previously announced closed beta. Still, we can’t wait to take you to the moon on November 3rd.

As a reward for your engagement, and because we want to thank our most loyal players, the development team is making sure to provide an in-game bonus for those of you who have or will pre-order the game before release. More details will be revealed in the coming weeks, but here’s a preview of this unlockable item.

For those of you who pre-ordered Anno 2205 in store, you will get this exclusive Command Ship and also an exclusive Corporation Emblem with the provided code.
If you pre-ordered the game digitally, you will receive it shortly before release from our digital partners.

We are looking forward to delivering Anno 2205, which represents for us a key evolution of the Anno franchise.

Best,
The Anno 2205 team

Anno 2205 is the sixth game in the series and set further into the future of any before it – in case the title didn’t give that away. It will be playable at gamescom 2015 this week.

Seriously, people should stop pre-ordering games for these betas. The devs get tons of money and cashflow for an unfinished game and meanwhile you get a free vehicle to use in the final game, sheesh.
