Anno 1503: The New World is a sequel to Anno 1602, a game that combines city building simulation, colonization, diplomacy, productions, trade and combat. The game has even more extensive options and features, offering a carefully modeled 16th century game world that is ten times bigger than the one from the previous installment in the series.

The whole is served in full 3D graphics that come with customizable camera, while atmospheric and detailed animations create a realistic image of life in 16th century.
