Industrial Revolution city-builder Anno 1800 sets its open beta for April

Ubisoft has announced that Anno 1800, the latest entry in developer Blue Byte's long-running historical city-builder series, will be holding its open beta this April on PC.

More specifically, Anno's open beta will run from April 12th to April 14th - and while there's scant information on what exactly participants will be able to experience during the event (other than, obviously, ye olde city building), developer Blue Byte has teased that it will include "new content", not seen in the game's recent closed beta.

No sign-ups will be required to access the open beta, and interested parties will merely need to download the beta-specific client in order to fulfil all their pre-release city-building whims. Full details will presumably be shared on the usual social media channels in the run-up to April 12th.
