## Gameplay

The Settlers is a reboot of the series. The game features three different factions, including the Elari, the Maru, and the Jorn. Like previous games in the series, the player starts with a skeleton crew and the player must grow their settlements by collecting resources, building farms for food, and constructing military structures for both offense and defense. The game features a campaign mode and a Skirmish mode which allows both 1v1 or a 2v2 multiplayer.[1]

## Development

Formally announced at Gamescom 2018, Blue Byte uses the proprietary Snowdrop Engine to develop the game.[2] It was originally slated for release on Microsoft Windows in 2019,[2] then rescheduled for the third quarter of 2020, but in July, the game's release was postponed indefinitely and preorders were refunded.[3] The game resurfaced in January 2022, and a closed beta for the game was held from January 20 to 24. According to director Christian Hagedorn, the team had to redesign the game as the gameplay systems were overcomplicated and that they created did not blend well with each other.[4] The game was scheduled to be released on March 17, 2022 for Windows.[5] However, due to the feedback received during the Closed Beta, The Settlers team released a statement on March 3, 2022 announcing the game will be postponed to a later date, as the quality of the game was not yet in line with the team's vision.[6]
